Pros

- sick leave is allowed and not questioned - nice colleagues generally - the job looks good on a CV

Cons

- highly repetitive tasks, which you’re expected to do for hours if not days at a time, as quickly as possible - constantly being tracked on your quality and speed, and if you miss weekly targets you have to write a report to say why, and how you’re going to improve - if you’re away from your computer for more than 5 minutes (eg for a coffee break) it logs you as not being there and you have to take that time from your lunch break or work longer at the end of the day - feedback and suggestions are rarely taken on board - no pay rises unless you’re promoted, even if you take on extra responsibilities. No bonuses either.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
