Pros

- Friendly people, once they allow you to get closer. - Good salary - People often leaves the office around 4pm = great work-life balance!

Cons

- Processes often involve too many stakeholders, resulting in inefficiency, unnecessary stress, and lower motivation. - There is no onboarding into the company culture, and you’re expected to integrate yourself. People are quite distant and reluctant to engage with newcomers. - Career opportunities sometimes favor colleagues with good relationships or strong networks rather than those with the most relevant skills. - Sometimes the communication is inconsistent, which can lead to missing information. Certain meetings could benefit from clearer agendas and defined objectives. - The company promotes four values, but one is highlighted so frequently that the others tend to be overlooked. The continuous emphasis on ‘Joy’ can feel a bit overwhelming.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
