Pros

They hire the smartest people in the region. Lots of people to learn from Pay is very good Work/life balance (i go home around 18:00 everyday) Projects are interesting

Cons

If you expect to do just an average job and get rewarded you'll get fed up Some managers in the US have a bit of a attitude Some red tape that you get in all big companies

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
