Pros

It is a nice shared service centre environment. Employees are well cared about. Benefits agree to the average market level or a bit above. All the necessary equipment is provided. I didn’t experience any significant drama within the team.

Cons

The career ladder might be a bit slow and limited for ambitious.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation. Some free snacks and sweets (a lot of people tend to like this).

Cons

Terrible toxic corporate culture. You're expected to behave exactly as others (i.e. smile and clap when everyone else does at the meeting). The blame culture. Either you blame someone else or they blame you. The actual work and progress doesn't matter. What matters is having others to blame. Tens of hours of weekly pointless meetings. Very high employee rotation. Managers lie why someone leaves company. If you try to change the "status quo" or question anything, you're the team and company's worst enemy. People will take any chance to undermine you behind your back. Most projects are legacy or "legacy by design". It's not a high-tech company. At office you can meet people cutting their nails or squeezing pimples by the desk you might be seating next day.
