Pros

- Warm and inclusive culture - Lot of learning/training opportunities via online portal as well as for vendor-based integrations - Satellites has network benefits of having very senior, experienced engineers alongside grads/interns - Good amenities (food, coffee, beverages, Basketball Court) on campus

Cons

- Growth limited to traditional corporate structure - Responsibility is offloaded to vendors often - Resources and priority between Satellite teams are always shifting so you are at risk of being sidelined year-on-year

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Can't think of anything else.

Cons

Management (managers not leaders, no transpareny, no control over team). Toxic team. Management not taking responsibility and protecting new staff from the toxic team environment. Burying their heads in the sand, allowing it to continue and being defensive when confronted about it. Work arrangements in my team were not flexible. Had to pay for parking at office.

Pros

Clear duties, structured environment, and regular interaction with clients and staff. Good role for building basic administrative and customer service skills.

Cons

Occasionally unclear task distribution, with responsibilities being added at short notice, which can make prioritisation challenging.
