Pros
- Pantry (All the food and drinks you can dream of. Free Breakfast that changes every day. Like a supermarket.) - Company Events (Major Festivals Celebration/Interesting Events) - Medical Benefits, Vision and Dental
Cons
- Deemed obsolete after 10 years (Remember to change roles before you hit 10 years if you intend to stay with the firm. Advocate for your own skills upgrading before you become obsolete.) - Limited transferable skills - Deep Water Politics (Despite a 'helpful' environment, some people pretend to help on the surface but you find yourself wounded unknowingly.) - Micro Management (Some managers expect you to be in your seat for optics purpose when you start work even though there is free breakfast and you are encouraged to mingle to build relationships. If you are in the office, taking breakfast yet not at your desk, you can be perceived as being late for work. Some even monitor/create alerts to know when you tap in for work and when you return from lunch. Working after hours is expected yet being slightly late when starting work or post lunch is not tolerated in some teams.) - Team/Department Culture and Corporate Culture can differ greatly.
