Pros

Some of the colleagues were cool to hang around

Cons

Where should I start? To the reader - observe how the next 5-star bot review will be posted a couple of days after mine. - Absolutely no work/life balance. There are 5-6 different kinds of shifts and only the chosen few get the good ones. The shift times and overlaps are illogical to say the least. - If being micromanaged is a kink of yours, this is the place. You are constantly monitored, but you lack clear goals, proper assistance from your superiors and adequate behaviour towards your work needs. - Almost all of the team leaders in the Support team are completely useless and incapable. They have absolutely no idea how to motivate an individual. Get ready for quarterly statistics, hand-slapping and a bunch of stupid remarks that will get you nowhere in terms of career development. - Extremely hard to feel respected as an individual or professional. Also there always will be some Supervisor talking smack behind your back. - Nothing is private. Be careful what you share with your colleagues or how you use your work laptop. - Extremely limited opportunities for career development. - Benefits are exactly the same as with any other company, if not less. Multisport card, additional healthcare and the occasional food vouchers if you’ve been working the night shifts for the month. The offices are nice and all but come on you ain’t gonna live there, are you? Those offices are the reason why people are forced to work on-site, while almost nobody wants to. You are not given the opportunity for pure remote work, which is ridiculous in present days. - I don’t think that the salary is that great, falling behind industry standards and people get demotivated by the first quarter of the new year. - If I was working there currently and they found out that I wrote that review, I would’ve been fired immediately. The high management does not tolerate negative feedback or constructive criticism, that’s why things have been going downhill for the past few years. - Do not work there if you care about yourself and your career. Your life force will be sucked out of you until there is nothing more you could give, at which point they will fire you without prior notice because “you’re underperforming”.
