Pros

- Work finishes at 5 - Dental and private health care

Cons

- Despite the job being advertised as requiring technical expertise or a relevant degree, none is actually needed or valued in practice. - Recent hires display a lack of motivation and frequently avoid contributing meaningfully to the workload. Always the same people holding the bag. - Management are totally lost, I do not understand their purpose, as it certainly is not leading, this goes from Director down. - False promises is the motto of the department, say anything to get you in the door -Zero room to grow, get experiences of new technologies or move teams. - Horrible shifts and hours - Zero Culture in the company, no sports and socials, entire place is so dry and without personality. - Most people you engage with are not nice people and lack basic communication skills
