Pros

kind and supportive colleagues for the most part

Cons

A place rife with incompetent and problematic people. There is a senior who speaks to team members in an unprofessional and questionable manner. Said person will raise their voice at, and curse incessantly in front of team members. Team members are also encouraged to work over time just to support this senior’s workload in addition to their own- and are told that overtime is a good learning opportunity / exposure- which is another reflection of the questionable work culture here. All this is however the spillover effects from a very incompetent previous management who turned a blind eye to these trends. The department I am in requires very little "proper" skills. As long as you are a people pleaser, and are able to do general corporate tasks such as writing emails and conducting cold calls, you can go far. It is no wonder then that a bulk of workers here are incompetent- these people stay here for they lack 'proper' skills and are unable to take on more legitimate roles outside. These people become middle and senior managers with 0 leadership background, 0 technical skills, and the cycle of incompetence and toxicity continues. The role itself can be described more accurately as a customer service / recruiter role- it is not as glamorous or analytical as how the company likes to frame it.
