Pros

This is my second round with this company after 11 years abroad. Overall thus far i cannot complain, everyone has been very welcoming. I have a great team, LM and mentors support as everyone makes sure to take their time to explain my job duties. Detailed information and steps on how to get used to systems and what i have to do for each task.

Cons

The very detailed workday input is quite time consuming to make sure every info is being noted. Can be confusing too which exact task to pick.
