Pros

Casual environment with open door policies throughout. Individually satisfying with great health benefits, pay and team management. Flexible hours/WFH contribute to a positive experience.

Cons

Global company with many offices; therefore, lacking personal relationships with many colleagues. Several roles have shifted and processes continue to be a challenge.

Pros

Some flexibility on working hours; able to miss peak rush hour which is a godsend when one needs to trek to Hangar Lane and back every day!

Cons

Very little support or collaboration. As a newbie in an unfamiliar domain, I got the impression that my Technical Lead was just as clueless as myself regarding his understanding some the fundamental concepts within our business domain but felt ashamed to admit this and/or direct me elsewhere for guidance. Very much a 'do as I say, don't ask questions' and 'just get it done' culture. Mamagers will not give constructive feedback outside of the formal HR-led appraisal/probation review process, so based on my experience it's best to be prepared for a shock when this does happen!
