Pros

FIRST is an absolute people-first company which you feel very strongly as an employee. I have never worked for a company where I felt so valued and supported. Love that it has a strong female leadership team too.

Cons

Not having more face-to-face time with my boss as she is located in a different country.

Pros

Strong, supportive culture where people genuinely care about each other. Leadership invests in employee growth and long-term development. Stable company with a vision and consistent performance. Opportunity to work with exciting clients in a dynamic, creative industry.

Cons

Fast-paced environment can be demanding at times. Growth opportunities can sometimes depend on team/department needs. As with any continuously evolving company, processes are evolving in some areas.
