Pros

Good starting salary of €32000 with no experience. Nice office and city centre location. Good training provided. Good social scene - much to the dismay of a lot if people in there.

Cons

A lot of people have left in the past 2 years and not been replaced including managers. A lot of old legacy systems that they say they are getting rid off but no sign of that. A lot of egos around the office with nothing to back it up in terms of work completed. People have been promoted without enough experience. Decisions from above not always disseminated adequately.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
