Pros

- I was lucky enough to have really great colleagues whom I still keep in touch / meet up with even after leaving. - The company + L&D team really put a lot of effort into their events. They do a very good job bringing employees and fun together on special occasions - Office environment is great - Staff benefits are pretty alright

Cons

Context: I got the short end of the stick by working remotely from my own team (manager + higher ups included) - Poor management once you truly start settling in after your first few to 6 months of employment. - How the company portrays themselves online is truly just a facade - in reality, they’re crashing and burning but make YOU look like you’re the reason. - Recruitment is HARD, but rewarding work, but to receive ZERO encouragement/recognition of efforts, and only back-handed compliments from your own leader is EVEN HARDER. - Little to no guidance/support despite being a fresh graduate. - Severe burnout. Spent nearly an entire year on auto-pilot not knowing what I was doing, working towards, doing wrongly/correctly, etc. - I was manipulated of my own hard-earned commissions. - My individual target was CONSTANTLY changing and realistically UNATTAINABLE. Hence, zero direction in your work/career. Prepare to be gaslighted and micromanaged by your leader(s) because they’re going to make you doubt yourself, your capabilities, and your worth within the organisation. - No solutions provided when discussing under-performance. - No work-life balance. Being told by your leader that “if you want to succeed, you should work on the weekends” is questionable.
