Pros

Free fruit and pastries are provided once a week while free pizza and sushi lunches are provided once a month. There are great people working here and the Sports & Social Club plan a lot of great activities.

Cons

Management quietly encourage employees to do overtime on a regular basis. The managements attitude is 'just get it done' which means 'we are not directly asking you to do over time but there will be consequences if the impossible deadline is not met'. The company idea of holiday cover is that employee number 2 will have to do two jobs while employee number 1 is away on leave.

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)
