Pros

Westernised culture, strong team bonding, lots of social gatherings. Pay is relatively higher compared with competitors.

Cons

Strong micro-management, KPI-based and no flexibility. Poor management by team leaders.

Pros

The job is incredibly demanding and you are held to an arguably unreasonable standard, which helps build character and resilience.

Cons

The culture is incredibly toxic. People are outgoing, you're in a posh office, and it can seem really nice from the outside or when you first join. The reality is that there are massive ethical issues and management actively encourage you to lie to candidates and clients in order to close a deal. If all you care about is money and you're willing to work excessively long hours/ step on others toes to get it, this job may be for you. Last point, you aren't gaining any transferable skills that can be used to develop your career. You could go into a junior sales role and work your way up if you get out soon enough but be very careful as that's about it. One of the managers at Robert Half described it to me as "golden handcuffs" since you don't like the job but you're paid too much to leave and start from square one.
