Pros

The recruitment process was incredibly transparent. My recruiter kept me updated at every stage, and the interviewers were technical but encouraging. Now that I’ve started, the first 7 days have been structured and less overwhelming. A whole day for orientation. pheww.

Cons

The internal documentation is vast, so it takes a bit of time to navigate where everything is kept and some are outdated. However internal AI helps mostly. a lot of tools and platforms to learn early on, which can be a bit of a steep learning curve in week one
