Toxic doesn't begin to cover it

Pros

Interesting large scale projects, small chance to travel.

Cons

Toxic office environment, HR is 100% out to get you, the company favours certain people even if they are HORRIFIC and have had numerous complaints. Sexual harassment is commonplace. Underpaid and extremely overworked- some people coast and others have to cover x3 people's jobs.

Pros

Travel to other countries in Africa

Cons

If you are hired for a specific role you'll be expected to take on work (with no extra pay to match) that should be done by completely different roles so the company doesn't have to spend money hiring more people. Staff retention is so low! It's like a revolving door with large groups new people starting each month to replace the ones that have left. Employees that have been there for longer either resign or spend all their time complaining about how much they hate it there and how burnt out they are. The work culture is toxic and so clearly puts profit over everything else. Seminars are held to give the impression that the company cares about employee health and work life balance but when push comes to shove employees are just expected to meet any unrealistic goals from clients that project managers just agree to with no communication except "we said yes so get it done".
