Pros

- Good name on the CV - Exposure to many different clients - Lot of time invested in training

Cons

- Lots of micromanagement to the point where you need to justify going to the toilet sometimes! - Glorified call centre - Many pointless company procedures which stifle any chance of innovation - Management and team leaders are too focused on quantitative measures which very often leads to poor customer service - Clueless management - Limited opportunities in the sense that you are forced to move to a team due to company requirements (with no consideration of what you want to do) - Forced to evaluate your own performance on a weekly and monthly basis - Many incompetent team leaders in analytics Overall, it is a good stepping stone to get in to another company. But if you join do not stay for too long as the leadership and micromanagement is unbearable.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
