Pros

Good benefits, annual bonus, regular revision of salaries, teambuilding events, dinner and taxi home during closing periods if it is needed to stay long at work, possibility to travel, real possibility to apply for jobs internationally and be transfered, lot of trainings, financial support of CIMA and other internal trainings, mostly good, friendly colleagues, multicultural teams, new nice modern offices with own free gym, fruits every day. After working in 2 another SSC in Prague, so far the best experience and fair salary. Work is challenging, you are always busy, but overtimes is paid, home office is not limited, if your direct manager approves, you can work from home as much as you want, overtimes are paid or can be taken as compensatory leave. Flexible working hours are a great.

Cons

I don't understand how some people ended up in the management, they sat there long enough I guess. They lack leadership and people skills and often are even not able to advise in operational questions or decide something. Ideally you need to be independent, self sufficient and resourceful person, to function here. People get promoted to management based on being friends with higher level managers, not based on skills. I think it is easier on accountant/analys level, as there is attrition, you can get promoted to senior pretty quickly when you are skilled.

Pros

The colleagues I worked with were great, friendly, helpful. Because the colleagues were great, I'd love to work there full-time, but this was a short contract.

Cons

The supervisor I was ultimately working for had never worked in digital-related products, in which I had decades of experience. He seemed to be unaware of what every colleague would be telling me (I was interviewing colleagues using a software the manager was intending to propose use for firm-wide). Both the colleagues I interviewed, and the internal technical staff I was speaking with knew the project would not function as he seemed intent on ... forcing(?) it do so. I gave him the resulting report of its users' feedback, and I was finished with my contract. He had gone through 2 other women in this same role, already. And he hired a male after me who delivered esentially the same results. Because I wasn't there, I have no idea of the dream outcome this manager attained, or switched to, later.
