Pros

- competitive pay - supportive colleagues - excellent benefits - team-building activities that fosters a sense of community - free LinkedIn upskilling courses

Cons

- heavy workload - having to cater to client's ludicrous demands as policy is rigid - lack of development opportunities if you don't already have experience in a certain field - career progression often determined by visibility, not solely based on merit & hard-work - limited capacity for decision-making, follows top down hierarchy

Bad Trainings, Threatening leads

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- annual bonuses - if you are lucky, some of your team mates are nice .

Cons

- Bad trainings - there is not a structured training, onboarding pack has limited information. A lot of pressure to achieve an high performance even when you are not trained accordingly. - Meetings with your TL feel like you are being in a room with KGB. After 1.5 months of working, with limited training, you are already told that your contract might not be renovated. Destructive Feedback with a goal to intimidate and not to teach or help improving. - Most of the time the meetings would be conducted not only by a TL but also by one of the seniors, who has been made senior through "politics" as it is not possible to pass from a junior to a senior within 2 years. Several other colleagues with very high scores took that amount of time to pass from a junior to an analyst. It felt like the TL needed some help passing the message or was trying to use an extra hand to intimidate. If you defend yourself they ask you for proof like if you are lying. - Toxic and stressful environment to work as your jobs is constantly micromanaged not only by the TL but by other older colleagues. -TL yelling during meetings and sending emails saying you are making other people uncomfortable in the team with no explanation to why. - Lack of appreciation for the work you put in and extra hours. These are not even paid.
