Pros

young and friendly co-workers - that's really it. Free beer to distract you from the fact that you're still at work at 8pm. Some good learning experiences in workshops. You will spend your time on proprietary softwares that you'll never need to use again.

Cons

This company takes advantage of young and inexperienced staff by allowing zero opportunity to negotiate your own employment terms or salary. it is not open for discussion during the course of employment and you'll never talk to someone with any power. Your own manager will openly complain about their job/salary. Several very unprofessional managers, zero work-life balance good luck making plans during the week. No appreciation or recognition for hard work. I think I was told 'thank you' twice in 2.5 years and I had a few 70 hour work weeks making 33k. You are only paid overtime after 44 hours and will regularly work that many hours if not more. The Director openly embraces high turnover (which is extremely hard on the teams) because it means they are paying a comparably low salary versus competitors which is good for the bottom line. They literally said this in a meeting with ground level staff which was horrifying. It is almost impossible to live on a 30,000 salary many employees have to live at home with their parents. Your 'raises' will never be over 1-2k at a time and you will barely notice. Even promotions do not include a decent raise and you will only work harder. Do yourself a favour and keep looking.

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
