In a word: purgatory

Pros

-Young, entrepreneurial atmosphere -International environment -Good first 'professional' springboard

Cons

-Management indeed care about being the 'fastest growing company in the world', but perhaps they should consider quality as well - actually offering good deals, perhaps treating employees like human beings -Band-aid solutions aplenty - giving workers a choice of three cereals doesn't heal all the back stabbing/suddenly vacant desks/ineffective communication paths -KPIs - you can't have quality and quantity, at least not the way the powers that be want it. And having dashboards splashed across office walls, pitting each team member's stats against each other for all to see doesn't achieve squat -Recaps at end of week drinks often feel like a misrepresentation (we're profitable - really?) -Management are unfortunately more often than not painfully unqualified/lack the skills to guide/mentor/drive -Incredibly unprofessional manner of hiring and firing, whether sales reps being let go for failing to hit targets (apparently commission structure changes daily without notice) or someone's unqualified, inexperienced girlfriend/partner breezing in as a team leader etc
