Pros

- Nice Google Office. - Multinational, young environment. - Free cold snacks (cutlets, sandwiches, salads, fruits, etc) - Opportunity to learn some of Google's internal processes.

Cons

Mentioning only the main ones (as there are just way too many): - Arrogant management not carrying about employees' professional growth. - No clear carrier path. - No time for self development, not even for mandatory training (which would be necessary for everyone to do their job properly). - Lack of proper IT infrastructure (most of the agents work on useless Chromeboxes or broken laptops). - Low salary + no raise (neither yearly, nor for seniors). - Stupid and counter-productive bonus scheme. - No money for team building activities at all. - Ridiculous and low-quality company events. - Lack of proper communication by management. - Higher and higher turn-over rate. - Top and senior management is mostly hired by inviting each other from previous companies. - No company culture, no identity. - High level of everyday stress and frustrations due to constant headcount issues affecting ALL markets. - High workload and impossible targets. - Quality Analysts do not speak your language properly (as the company rather hire 1 analyst for 2-3 markets to spare money on this, too). - Lack of motivation from bottom to top levels. - High risk of quick burnout. - It is pure outsourcing, so all bad news are presented as counterpart's decision. - Incompetent and overwhelmed HR and Recruitment.

Pros

Great company and good employees

Cons

This is one of the worst places I have ever worked. They do not care about their employees here; to them, you are just another number. They get upset when you use your sick days, even though they are a legal right, and then retaliate against you by punishing you when you return to work. And be careful about filing a complaint with Human Resources because they are two-faced. Instead of helping you, it often ends up backfiring on you. That is why no one feels comfortable going to them. This company does not appreciate or value its employees unless you have connections or favoritism. Management, starting from the top, has no clear direction. Everything constantly changes, even when it is not the best option, simply because someone higher up decided it. The environment feels outdated and authoritarian, like something from another era. There is a lot of hypocrisy, resentment, and abuse of power.
