Pros

- Management communicate well, care, try their best to help out - There's 3 big tech firms in PBO, Compare The Market, ADP, and some others I can't remember. - Coworkers are happy to support where they can, even ones not in your team, and honestly they're a pretty chill bunch - There's development from Udemy courses, internal workshops on architecture & legacy systems, and challenging tickets

Cons

- Work can get overwhelming, I couldn't get grounded in time for burnout. Challenging work from API work that isn't super clear, devs often figure out the complex stuff and don't memorise it which doesn't help systematically tackle overwhelm - Toilets, man... Grown people with tenure yet somehow the state of the toilets is on par with uni library toilets during peak times.

Pros

Resume Gold! Having the name on your resume opens doors because people know you can survive a high-volume, high-complexity environment. That’s where the benefits end.

Cons

Pay: It’s a joke. They expect specialized, expert-level work and deep tax knowledge for a base salary that is way below the market. They use the big name as an excuse to underpay you. Work/Life Balance: You are never truly off. To hit the impossible quotas, people are forced to work off the clock just to keep up. Management knows this is the only way the work gets done, but they look the other way so they don't have to address the workload. Management: They are manipulative and not leaders. Instead of helping with the workload, they use moving goalposts and vague promises of growth to keep you running. There is no advocacy for employees. Make sure to get everything in writing. Some get amnesia. Quantity over Quality: It’s a sweatshop for data. You’re forced to rush through complex setups just to hit a Go-Live count to appease Sales. Accuracy is key, but it often takes a backseat to volume, which is a nightmare for anyone who cares about doing the job right. No Room to Grow: There is no real way to move up. ADP is a lateral move company, and that’s only if your management doesn’t stand in your way and prevent you from leaving for another internal team.
