Pros
- Culture of a collaborative working environment among the Executive and junior manager level employees (AKA Trauma Bonding) - Decent healthcare benefits (but taking MC, especially for multiple days, is AT YOUR OWN RISK. Beware of piled up workload/working while on MC, and side-eyes and snarky comments from management when you are back)
Cons
- Work-life balance isn’t great - Remuneration and financial-related benefits were pitiful - During times of lean manpower, workload can be near-unmanageable - Speaking of manpower, HR is slow to hire and replace despite a 2-month notice period, and when they do, sometimes the quality of hire is just plain poor - Management is poor and toxic: 1) plenty of infighting 2) distribution of workload isn’t exactly fair, which is where office politics, being on good terms with your manager, and being able to “articulate and express” how busy/stressed you are comes in 2) gives little direction to executives on workflow and vision, and sometimes just leaves them to get their head bitten off by angry clients 3) prioritises new business over existing clients
