Pros

Great Colleagues. Free Soft drink/Coffee/Biscuits. Kitchen with plates and cutlery provided. Microwave & toaster. Occasional lunch provided to employees on Fridays. Start and finishing times are not micro managed (This could change, due to some staff abusing this whilst I was there).

Cons

Long hours. A lot of overtime required. Upper management doesn't want to know you. You're just a number and easily replaced. Bullying from inexperienced team leaders that are under pressure from upper management to get you to work harder and give up your weekends for low hourly overtime pay. Poor work/life balance. Base salaries are well-below industry average and most are forced to work overtime/on-call to supplement their income to make ends meet. This is a controversial one, but worth mentioning. Company saves money by exploiting 457 migrants to fill higher paying roles (E.g Team Leader role) and pays well-below industry standard.

Pros

The company is rising the ranks as they are combining all of their internal business teams and processes as well as they are capable of.

Cons

You are a number. The family dedication of 'doing whatever it takes to get the job done' is gone, as new management has come in and made everything a calculation. They have slashed every US job they can, and if you're in the EU and your role can be sent to India, you are next. If your individual math doesn't add up for longer than 2 weeks, you'll be on your way out. If you are on vacation, you are also questioned about that math not adding up. Just added a bench process to get everyone infighting for roles they aren't appropriate for and dragging out their personal needs. A select few are exempt, even though the bench process isn't fully working or completely understood. Reporting structures are all in flux and everyone is 3 months into the year without identified goals or team reporting set for the year.
