Pros

Fun. Amazing growth through the training programme and through the role. The list of perks is too long, but key ones are all the meals, coffee, snacks, gym, large discounts at supermarkets and other shopping. Inclusive environment, no sense of superiority by anybody. Good relationships all around.

Cons

Stressful. Tiring. High hours. Mental health may be adversely impacted based on the individual, but not due to the company or the people, but the nature of working in a stressful role where performance is important to the longterm success of the company.

Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

Cons

When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
