Pros

Great pay, earn personal miles for professional job duties

Cons

In my case, line manager assigned to me was from FSP model and had no idea how to work with systems. As a beginner I could not go to her with any queries or problems that I was having because the answer would always be, " I can't don your job for you - get it done!". Overall a very negative experience as everyone that I started with was just as overwhelmed and lost as I was so nowhere to go for guidance. Company has a mentor program but I was told that database lock was imminent and there was no time for this. Its basically sink or swim. I chose my mental health over dealing with disrespectful line manager so I swam - away! Your experience here will vary depending on your line manager. I was very unlucky.

Pros

The team was great to work with and the general work environment was hard to beat

Cons

It felt like sales and upper management completely dropped the ball with our product. We had what could have been a large success in the market but we were too ignored to really push ourselves towards new customers. Pretty much the whole team was laid off as a result.
