Pros

Blue box values. They promote work/life balance, they try to life the values. Flexible schedule. Excellent opportunity to learn and receive training.

Cons

Performance management is not standard, that depends on how your leader represents you during the evaluation; however at the end your leader do not have influence in your review. There is a lot duplication on work depending on the department you work for.

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.
