Pros

They will go the extra mile during recruitment and make it seem that they’re giving you everything you want at the moment, and they do; but only for the recruitment process.

Cons

The CEO demeaning the Greek people of the group in front of the whole group and saying publicly that he “is ashamed to be Greek” because “the Greeks are lazy and scammers” is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of this company’s cons. So, if you’re Greek, you know you’re not being equally treated and valued as the rest of the group. Also, they promise raises and benefits that will come in the near future, yet they never come, or will come very late. Usually after you turn in your resignation you get a “but we were just about to give you a raise/promotion/benefit” or a “we did all these for you and you sell us out?”. Imagine getting a promotion and not get paid for it, all this extra work for months and no payment for it in sight. The HR is basically an accounting department, not really caring for the people. In a situation where a manager was edgy enough to ask for money from his subordinates, the same subordinates that were refused a raise/promotion, the HR did either nothing for it or something was done behind the scenes (which is not good enough) when it was reported to them. Of course the promised work from home policy that was highly advertised during recruitment in the covid era and was “here to stay” only came for some special cases. The rest were declined the right to work from home. There’s probably more to add but I have already spent more time for this company than needed; so to summarise I would stay away from this company.

Pros

Solid exposure to large-scale banking and financial services projects Flexible remote/hybrid work arrangements depending on the client/project Starting Salary above market Good benefits (ticket restaurant card, mobile + data plan)

Cons

Promotions and role advancement are opaque. Despite taking on additional responsibilities and maintaining high performance, there is little to no discussion or feedback on career progression. Recognition is limited. Raises do not reflect increased responsibilities or market expectations. Internal mobility is not transparent. Efforts to transition back to core roles or projects that better fit one’s skills are often ignored. Minimal support from upper management in facilitating growth beyond current assignment. You’re often treated as a resource for client needs rather than being invested in as a professional with long-term potential.

Pros

Competitive salary Opportunity to work on diverse projects

Cons

Micromanagement: Employees are required to submit a timesheet daily, detailing what they did every hour. This creates a stressful work environment and shows a lack of trust from management. Untrained Managers: Many managers are not adequately trained and often speak disrespectfully to their colleagues. This affects team morale and overall productivity. Frequent Project Changes: There are continuous shifts in projects without any clear value for the employees. This lack of stability makes it hard to gain expertise or achieve a sense of accomplishment. Accusations of Lack of Ownership: Despite the frequent changes and lack of clear direction, employees are often accused of not having ownership of their projects. This is unfair and demotivating. High Turnover: Up to 40% of the workforce has left the company, leading to understaffed teams. This increases the workload for those who remain, often without any corresponding raises or incentives. No Compensation for Increased Workload: The company does not offer raises or other forms of compensation to employees who are taking on additional work due to the understaffed teams. This lack of recognition and reward is demoralizing.
