Pros

Higher starting salary compared to similar jobs in the industry,however overtime is needed all the time and you get paid for overtime only after 44 hours so every week you work 4 hours for free and at the end of the year your hourly wage is lower than working as receptionist. Free soft drinks, once a month ice cream and cake-if you want to get diabetes Free beers after 5 pm-so all pathetic juveniles working at this sad company can get drunk like teenagers who see alcohol for the first time in their life

Cons

LOOONG hours-every week, and I mean loooong like 10/11 pm or later Micro-management and annoying supervisors who are on your as* all the time telling you what to do Inefficient processes-everything has to go through approvals so even if you are done your work, you are sitting there waiting for your emails to be released, your reports to be approved, your every sentence to be reviewed before you can leave Crap software-programs that crash all the time, discrepancies in numbers, wrong information that gets you in trouble all the time because you can;t rely on the systems that are supposedly there to help you Extremely high volume of work and stress-you can never get everything done and the management won't hire more people Unsocial, unfriendly co-workers who just stare at their monitors and nobody talks, just works

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
