Pros

Pay is great so are the benefits, cool events and engagement activities

Cons

rampant office politics and power tripping - manager excludes people they don't like from discussions and goes out of their way to ice those people out - immature and incompetent team leaders that constantly talk behind your back and undermine you - too much drama and at times hostile because no emotional regulation happens - band 25 colleagues have to fill in gaps when instructions are given as leaders are unable to grasp subject matter and unable to cascade information diligently - lack of planning causes a lot of frenzy and disrupts work flow - disrespect colleagues opinions that are more aware of the work flow

Pros

- Complimentary lunch and starbucks everyday - On-site clinic for basic check ups - Hybrid

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
