Pros

Good benefits, the salary is correct and it's possible to evolve within 9 months since the company is expanding.

Cons

A lot of work, with tight datelines and no room for errors. It's exhausting and sometimes complicated. You can be asked to work on other projects on top of your current responsabilities. The job comes with some level of stress.

Pros

- A high reputation company, add values to your CV. - Salary offers are decent. The company provides Employee Assistance Program at no cost as well. - A fast-paced and dynamic working environment. Learning and discovering new things every single day. Trust me, you'll never get bored. - Co-workers are friendly to each other. Communication is transparent.

Cons

- Employees will tend to get stress easily because everything is about performance. However, this is understandable, due to the rapid growth of business. - Too dynamic, employees must be very very agile to adapt to changes from time to time. - Each centre is localized, not really "internationalize" if you get what I mean. If you are not working as senior manager level or above, the chances of you working with employees from other regions are close to 0%.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to make impact Extremely collaborative environment Working with smart and creative people

Cons

Lots of processes still need to be ironed out (these are being worked on continuously) Some days the hours can be long - but the company is in hyper growth stage and this will likely level out
