    Pros

    Nice office location. Some perks.

    Cons

    Micromanaged, stuck on phone with very few breaks. It is a call center so its to be expected.

      Very exhausting interview process. First online meeting. Then if pass, invited for four days of hiring and training in person. The first day is all activities and role play to see if you pass. Done exclusively in English. The next three days is more role play and training.
