Pros
Slightly above average salary. The on-site canteen and shop (even though they are obviously there for a profit, not as a perk. You don’t even get coffee or tea for free - absolute bare minimum stuff that)
Cons
Honestly the worst place I’ve ever worked (and I’ve had a lot of jobs). I didn’t even want to take this job because of all the reviews I saw - I should have trusted my intuition. It’s full of people with no emotional intelligence, compassion or soul. Very cliquey, cold, there is no sense of team. From day one, I overheard dozens of people talking in the lifts/corridors/kitchens about how they long for redundancy, wished they had taken a different job years ago, and upcoming interviews they have. It’s a huge, corporate red flag. Discrimination is rife. It really felt like I’d stepped back in time to the good old days when CEO’s saw you as just a number, and the biggest perk was just being grateful to have a job. For a company of that size, there seems to be no structure or organisation. You’re a burden to management the second you walk in, and are expected to just fall into the role. As long as you’re bolshy (borderline rude) and know how to play the game, intelligence or ability doesn’t seem to matter too much. Long story short, it’s a miserable place to be, there is nothing fun or inspiring about it, people will look through you unless you’re someone “important”
