Pros

Colleagues. This varies highly and depends on what team you belong to. Some teams are less prone to politics while others are more exposed to it.

Cons

Workload. You will be expected to do the work of two to three people. Work that you have not been trained on before will be expected to be shouldered by you and accomplished in the same vein as an employee trained years to it. Favoritism. This is a spectrum. You can be a new hire who gave a good impression and henceforth, offered a managerial position despite no accomplishments at that point in time. You can also be a "hard-working" employee that does all-around work beyond your job description. The latter being overworked and on the verge of burnout The CEO. Flowery and pro-people words are always being promoted in meetings with employees but this does not match with implementation and practice. Promises of better working environment are there but takes years and multiple discussions to even be considered. 8 hours of work per day has only been implemented quite recently. Salary and Benefits. For some reason, this company still thinks that they are offering competitive packages. The employee's salaries are way, way, way below market value whereas the market value is 4-5x the salary of their employees. They also have staff with wages below the minimum wage. They have HMO (does not fully cover dependents) but members of management had to argue and push for 50% dependent coverage.

Pros

+1 star on travel opportunities on customer facing roles, working hours flexibility, and high entry-level salary (relative to provincial setup) +1 star on culture (no swearing), plus side on early Christian-based foundations (which is now changing too) +1 star on people, team spirit and culture

Cons

1 missing star on training, growth, and compensation on senior roles, and job security - limited room to grow and ceiling on roles to expand on 1 missing star sales strategy, innovation, and product quality - too focused on marketing and sales (if there's more focus on product quality and innovation; and customer service people feels more supported, the product will sell itself)
