Pros

I worked with very smart, talented people on an amazing product portfolio. Compensation and benefits were outstanding.

Cons

My last year was 2012. It seemed every year there was a major lay off, downsizing or restructuring. It felt like you were constantly competing to keep your job which made it difficult to focus on getting work done.

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

Working environment, great people, management trust the employees when it comes zo working time management I was satisfied with the salary/performance bonus

Cons

You will face absolutely incompetent Team Leaders promoted because they are friends with the right people Was my case, our team was working as a completely independant unit (TL was there just for making jokes) If there is a lazy/incompetent colleague do not even think of any complain or escalation....you will be identified as the trouble maker and get a warning letter and no annual bonus Even if you are a hardworking employee staying within the company for years, forget to escalate anything Their Credo sounds pretty good, but unfortunately, they completely ignore these ethical rules set by the company founders Be aware of their policies, they pretend to give you a referral bonus, but you will not receive it in all cases, my and other people experience Extra workload form your incompetent colleagues Old softwares as working tools, tons of mistakes within invoicing which catalyses completely unecessary extra issues/workload Lack of communication from the management Instead of punishing incompetent TL or colleagues, you will be charged with the consequences of your escalation As an example,our TL was not able to approve needed reimbursements, changes within the clients accounts always forgetting our emails-his manager solved the situation by asking his colleagues to approve our requests instead of telling him to do his job... Last but not least, they will sent you working enviroment satisfactilnon surveys every week and guide you how to conplaim, but once you complain, you are done
