Pros

-A real mix of people, dealt with Europe & US colleagues plus of course outsource teams in India & Hungary -Good opportunities to learn because they make so many changes, there's always a problem to solve if you have the interest

Cons

-Every dept seems under-resourced & expectations are unrealistic, don't allow any work life balance -What little structure remains is steadily being broken down by yet more outsourcing -Salaries are a little below average -Questionable promotions & appointments are common, managers get no training or support to manage staff, both resulting in many firings because managers don't perform -Training, best practice and support for regular tasks are non-existent -Out-dated technology, software etc

Pros

Flexibility, nice people, good benefits

Toxic work environment, HR way too involved in everything, the company expects us to be robots, document everything every person says at all times. Over working everyone since layoffs
