Pros

Good location, out of city, just off M50, easy commute.

Cons

Long hours, poor management and implied overtime. Female colleagues treated badly. Impossible KPI's and little cooperation from management and project stakeholders to meet deadlines. As a Senior PM I would deal with global vendors. Sales would set down undeliverable goals and vendors would trickle feed work to liquidate budget. Management only interested in their quarterly bonus margin. Some meetings were mostly spent discussing personal issues and situations of people not present which was awkward. Multiple issues about my manager discussed privately with HR, then relayed back to me by my manager!!! Inexperienced HR unable to process simple queries ie. payroll, tax forms. Avoid.

Pros

Fully work from home job

Cons

Work-life-balance (the way tasks availability works makes it so that you have to stay home most of the day to get hours) Pay (the pay is not competitive at all) Poor management (little to no communication and frequently overhiring, which adds to the lack of available work) Benefits (benefits are only available if you work a certain amount of hours per year, even if they do not have tasks available frequently) Vacation time (vacation time is awarded similarly to the way benefits work. Therefore your vacations are lessened by when task availability decreases) Lack of clarity (company stages meetings under the guise of transparency, but do not address worker concerns, up to and including concerns over lack of work) Mass layoffs (company does mass layoffs frequently, sending out termination emails to multiple employees at once periodically, which adds to general stress and uncertainty about job stability)
