Pros

They pay your salary on time

Cons

If you read all the negative reviews here, they are 100% on point and will give you a good sense of what it’s was like to be here. To summarise: - low bonuses and pay (ahh sorry we didn’t hit our target this year either) - minimal opportunity to move up (sorry you have to try harder, but just be happy you get to keep your job) - too much emphasis on face time and being in office (big brother is always watching) - limited freedom in your role (do as we tell you!) - hierarchal / inflexible / bureaucratic (never try to shine) Basically you are here to increase the share price so those at the top get a big payout at the expense of you getting a tiny incremental increase every year on your base. They can’t grow the business so they increase margins at your expense.
