Pros

Cons

Bullying by experienced staff Poor training Alot of staff do not understand what they are doing. They just do like robots. When you are smart enough to question them they say that is just the way it is or fumble in their speech then switch the conversation. Extremely rude HR team. Little scope for asking questions because your seniors are too busy. You then end up having to work very late because they have to finish their work first before they can train you= Poor planning!! Your managers will say one thing to you in a meeting but do something completely opposite to contradict themselves in reality. Alot of lying and manipulation done to try to stop you from quitting. They have no respect for people with families and taking holidays is a big deal. Huge restrictions on when you can take holidays. They have some sort of mandatory 2 week holiday rule to make you feel like they care but it is really an attempt to control when you can take holidays. When you sign that contract they pact like your life belongs to them. You will be expected to work on public holidays but they will avoid mentioning this in the interview, say it is not mandatory but then give you attitude if you did not come in that day. They claim to have an open door policy but when you speak your mind you get burned and they engage in petty malicious gossip behind your back. Very old systems. They claim to be at the forefront of technology but many staff are working with very old computers and when you express dissatisfaction. They are rude and nasty. Managers afraid to stand up to rude senior employees out of a fear of them quitting. This place is the epitomy of evil corporate life. Looks good on paper but is a nightmare. Senior management willing to lie at all costs in the interview inorder to get you in. They then lie to you after about what they said. HR is completely clueless about what is actually going on and have massive egos. Your performance review is a joke. Accusations are made without getting both sides of the story. People that end up working here long term either have no alternative or are ignorant , kiss up to management or have no self esteem. The management that are commenting on this website in defence are liars or out of touch with what is really going on. Very bureaucratic and hierarchical organisation. Like a dictatorship. If you have a high self esteem you will not work here.!!!

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
