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

Remote work option is nice to have

Cons

Zero support from management, with employee development and team concerns often taking a back seat to other priorities. Morale continues to go downhill, and several colleagues exploring opportunities elsewhere or leaving the organization already. The culture is challenging, particularly around providing candid feedback, as employees often are tracker down and face negative repercussions and retaliations. Career advancement depends more on aligning with leadership preferences than on merit and performance. Would not recommend this company to those seeking a supportive environment with transparent growth opportunities. Overall, the culture is political and difficult to navigate.
