Pros

Easy to get to work for the company, good for experience.

Cons

I'll give you my point of view, I have been working for the company for over a year and a half, the company promises to make you permanent after a year, that's not true! Low pay, the company works with Hays (recruitment agency) I accepted the job for 18000 net in reality you will end up getting just under 15.500 as the agency detracts a part of your payslip to cover your sick days and holidays, they should inform people properly when offering the job. This summer I had my holidays cancelled less then a week prior to the flight, I booked my annual leave months before but the company decided to cancel them anyways giving the excuse that they are expecting a busy time and need max availability. Last month I had a cold and had to go home due to the fact that I felt particularly ill, I contacted the manager asking to have the permission to leave, manager said he was busy and suggested me to stay as leaving would have looked bad in my records, I thought that was a unfair way to deal with an employee that is unwell, that only helps spreading the disease in the office in my own opinion so I decided to leave anyways even if the manager was not happy at all. Ultimately some of the managers appear to be very hostile to the employees or at least the managers of the department I work in and that's not helping in making the employees more productive.

Pros

Great location, great co workers, great leadership

Cons

Can be a bit too sales focused and forget that other departments are just as important. Lots of perks for sales that are not availbale to anyone else in the company

Pros

Pay and job title are crazy nice

Cons

This place is less data center more fulfillment center style. Walk in and are told to just copy that rack. No training. Then if you make a mistake they get mad even though nothing was explained.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for highlighting both the positives and the areas where we can improve. We’re pleased to hear that you value the pay and job title, but it’s disappointing to read that your experience with training and support has not met expectations. Starting in a new environment without clear guidance can be challenging, particularly in a technical role where structure and consistency are important. Your comments around the need for more effective onboarding, clearer instruction, and better support are important. We recognise that learning by observation alone is not sufficient for everyone, and creating an environment where people feel confident and set up for success is a key part of being a place where people matter. We also take seriously your point about how mistakes are handled. A supportive culture should ensure that people are guided constructively, especially while they are still learning. Thank you again for your honest feedback, which helps us continue improving the experience we provide
