- Best co-workers and I have genuinely made some great friends.

It was just a trial
Cons
- Multiple people end up going on stress leave due to various reasons: being overworked, panic attacks, damaged mental health. - Heavy workload and burnout is a common theme across the teams - Management expects their employees to be vocal when there are issues, but unfortunately do not put any efficient actions in place to make things better. It’s either your responsibility to fix it or it's “not an issue” - Multiple people have left the company in a short space of time - There is little to no training, it's a lot of reading on the HowNow platform and that’s it. Onboarding is pretty much non-existent. - The product itself has some great features but regular bugs are raised which is frustrating for the team to push for them to be fixed - For a company that promotes learning and development, there is no (or very little) opportunity to learn or upskill. There is no visibility on career progression or training. - Many people have missing Pension payments
