Pros

reasonable pay, free fruit twice a week, coffee and tea in the break room, good benefits including Multisport card and private healthcare, time off for some public and religious holidays. at least one person quits every month, so there's always cake and sweets.

Cons

The equipment is outdated and the systems are slow, making it difficult to complete tasks in a timely manner. The absolute worst part about this job is the upper management. There is a 100% focus on making money (obviously), and employees do suffer because of it. The teams are understaffed, leading to planned holidays being cancelled, and if someone is out of the office, the other people in the team are expected to do required overtime. To leave on time is to leave early. Employees are often encouraged to offer our ideas of how to improve the workplace, but those ideas are consistently shot down because they will cost too much time or money. There is a palpable lack of respect that comes from the upper management and onshore colleagues, which at times boarders on harassment and racism. Once a year, after your performance review, you are invited to sit and receive information about whether or not you will get a raise and/or bonus. This is no negotiation. Honestly, my advice is to stay away from this place.
