Pros

People are fun, Pay is decent for a graduate role, Pantry is the best

Cons

1) Helpdesk There are different layers to this, the first being this is a helpdesk job. Its fine if you are just doing helpdesk, but doing well in helpdesk doesnt even guarantee you high raises - you still have to do a lot of side projects and DEI activities (which I may argue is more important than doing your actual job well) While the primary goal is to prepare you for sales, it is simply not guaranteed and this lead me to point 2) Political 2) Political The office is not big (suprisingly) and it doesn’t actually matter how well you do in your job- as long as they like you, you will go to wherever you want. It is NOT merit based no matter how you look at it. Not a con if you can play the game, but if you just want to do your work well and not be political, sadly it will not be rewarded 3) Bonuses Youre looking at base salary and thinking that they pay well, but in actual fact bonuses are so low that when you take total compensation, it doesnt even amount to much (compared with other competitors)
