Pros

There are genuinely good people working there.

Cons

Expect the following: - Lateness/mess in employee administration, confusion in hiring and payroll (the worst workplace in this regard, in my personal experience). - Incredibly poor onboarding system for such a vast and multisites workplace - An incredibly toxic HQ work culture (e.g. blatant priviliges/favouritism, paranoia/distrusts/rivalries between managers/leadership, unclear managerial structures) - High turnover. Some people do work here for a long time, but those people will be the ones to tell you that they are not surprised why people would leave the company. - Unwillingness to reflect on a very poor working culture and infrastructural ineffectiveness, let alone change, improve, and innovate as a workplace. Relies on employees to adapt (suck up) to the inadequate working environment.

Pros

Co-workers were willing to go out of their way to help you. Teams were like a family and supported each other as such.

Cons

Nights, weekend, and holiday work. Comes with the territory but not preferred for me.
