Pros

Very supportive workplace, very welcoming and inclusive. No such thing as a silly question and everyone is willing to help you as you adjust to the role. The culture is so relaxed and positive, there is a huge emphasis on praising the wins and addressing the concerns in an uplifting way, rather than a 'finger pointing/blame laying' way. I have really enjoyed the experience of being a newbie.

Cons

The interview processes is very intense which I can tell is because the training is 10x more intense. This at times can be quite overwhelming which did make some parts of the training difficult because of overstimulation/ information overload. Training is remote which did make the delivery of the content a bit dry and hard to engage with. It would have been helpful to have had some of the training in-person/ shorten the sessions. Shorter sessions could have given us the opportunity to practise more, do more shadowing etc.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
