Pros
Pro-active HR Staff: from the moment Myriam Abdou found me on LinkedIn and made contact with me - I believed that this was meant to be. Not quite "head hunted" but by George the first company to contact ME and not the other way around. I really love the diversity in the company and also experiencing the growth: 155 employees at the time of my first interview - 20 nationalities - 10 different languages. In the six months I have been doing my probation - one office move has taken place for larger premises (growth) and an Office has opened in KSA (extending the companies reach to clients). Innovation is progressive and I have to commend Abhilash Prasad on the creation of the "Evee robot" that assists in making the FedEx process so much shorter and removing duplicate actions. Time saving - working smarter and not harder.
Cons
I must say, the one thing I have noticed is, the long hours that staff put in - whilst I am not a clock watcher - I strongly believe in work life balance. If the absolute necessity if there to work on weekends or overtime - it should be the exception and not the rule. One will burn out like this. I am drawn to the saying "work smarter, not harder". The staff have an expectation of being "fed" by the company - breakfast every morning except Thursdays when it is lunch. I have never worked at a company where this was supplied 100% - subsidized or perhaps the cereal, yoghurt and fruit would be a nice touch, but this is an area of HUGE potential cost saving.
