Pros

Generally all very supportive, cooperative colleagues. My immediate management always did GAF about me. Given flexibility if you were good at your job.

Cons

The workload had periods of being insane (but not too often). Had to learn a lot for myself as training wasn't great. Appraisal/pay rise process is very wishy washy

Worst company I ever worked at

Pros

When I started there were some amazing people working there. Within 6-12 months, they were all either let go for being disobedient or quit themselves.

Cons

- Extremely toxic management, very US oriented, military style. - management wants you to work in silos and not talk to other departments. They insist on having your manager talk to other departments. - very limited learning opportunities, work itself is not challenging nor stimulating. Your only job as a PM is to put out fires everywhere. You‘re more like a call center agent than a project manager. The job title itself is misleading and has nothing to do with project management. - Salary is low and they try to hook you on paying overtime. Which by itself is enough to prove the toxic culture I was mentioning earlier. Salary negotiations are impossible as your manager and their manager both say that they have no say in it. - the company doesn’t care about its employees and the meetings are only there so that they can mention how great KLD is - extreme cult vibes.
