Pros

The company tries to provide the flexible work pattern, so there is a degree of flexibility in your working hours. Good internal training materials are available too.

Cons

Everything (I mean literally, 100%) they have promised to me during the interview was never delivered, and when I challenged my manager he tried to gaslight me by saying that it never happened or I misunderstood what they were saying. I was not the only one in this boat - all new hires had the same issue and the attitude. There is no leadership as only the people who's faces fit get promoted, so in terms of people management it's a complete chaos. Payment is very low for the industry too, and when they say that you will get a rise next year don't trust thes as you won't.

Pros

great supervisor, lots of professional development opportunities

Cons

insane workload and expect you to be available for work 24/7. some teams are drowning and others have no resourcing. layoffs happen completely randomly and they lay off people who are 100 percent billable. profit share is bs and you get nothing as a junior member
