Pros

You will work with some amazing people.

Cons

- Micro management - Favouritism - Lack of support - Damaging to mental health - Denial about the bullying culture. - HR make it impossible for you to even formally complain about bullying, they will tell you to confront the bully or just read the bullying policy, which funnily enough lists micro management as bullying, but it’s how 95% of the managers management style. - If you ever try and raise bullying with management or HR, you will be labelled as a trouble maker, hard to manage and have an attitude problem. - if you use the whistleblower line, they will ask you how you found out about it

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
