Some benefits like partial medical aid and a contribution towards your provident fund. Salary not too bad. Leave not too bad.

Gas. Doesn't feel like they look after their employees. Experience is limited. Growth is extremely limited. Generally, not my type of job.

Pros

Relaxed work environment, colleagues are very helfpul! Lots of helpful training, great pay. Lots of resources available and challenging and rewarding projects.

No benefits for interns, but that's probably very standard. Not a whole lot to say in terms of cons. I really love coming to work and the people make it what it is.
