Pros

Some areas are better than others.

Cons

At Westgate, operations and call centres rely on local catchment area for staff, leading to long term lifers or people who leave quickly after realising their mistake rather than enthused quality staff, they hire temps by the day. Very political environment, need to watch your back as rumour mill and gossip rule the day. Money goes to sales, who promise clients the moon with the company not being able to back it up short of panicked scrambling last minute to find relevant talent. infrastructure, back office, IT etc. left as distant 2nd place. Hangar lane is an awful, godforsaken place.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
