The European side of the business is a boys club!

Business Outlook

Pros

The salary is good, the rest not so much...

Cons

Bad company culture. In Europe, the company is a boys club - a group of men running everything, promoting each other just because they're men. They have each-other's backs, so it is impossible to take any action about inappropriate comments or being treated unequally as a woman.

Avoid this company at all costs

Pros

My line manager and colleagues were lovely

Cons

Everything else. The APAC leadership team is a joke. The pay is below market average. I received a 20% increase just by jumping ship. The 1% merit increase received in 2023 is laughable to say the least. No CRA bonuses given for the last few years. Avoid this place at all costs.
