Pros

Good place to work to kickstart your career. Salary offer is relatively good for fresh grads. Fun social work environment - most of the colleagues and managers are approachable and very kind. Working there is a good opportunity to expand your network, improve soft skills and enhance your communication abilities. I was lucky to have a high-performing and inspiring manager. The younger managers are really effective in leading.

Cons

No Continuous Improvement, no streamlining in the work activities. Processes have so many wastes/lots of Non-Value adding activities. No infrastructure for training and development. Poor, if not nonexistent HSSE/ Safety & Health protocols. If you don't have a high job level - you don't have a voice. Your feedback/suggestions will often be ignored by the upper management. (I'm just quite lucky I was assigned to the best manager in the office, but some others are toxic)

Pros

Its in a nice building

Cons

Insane lack of communication; left alone after 3 hours on my first day. Did the work they wanted but not fast enough and they had a backup waiting to take my place and were not coy or secretive about that whatsoever. Was told not to bring lunch my first day. So I didn't bring lunch my first day. They did not provide lunch on my first day. I went out and bought food and then came back and worked alone the rest of the day. My trainer had retired years prior from a different company and couldn't understand that a PDF could be opened more than one way. What a relief I did not stick around. Oh yeah and I got very sick when they called to lay me off, but they needed their stuff back. Do you think they sent a courier? Nah. I went in thd next day, still sick, and waited over 10 minutes until hopping the security gate because no one was there AND I WAS SICK. Yeah, shortly after I received my positive COVID results. Welp, that about sums up my short stint at this place. Legal dept was completely chaotic. Also the open floorplan was awful during covid.
