Pros

Good work environment, great colleagues. Effective employee recognition system

Cons

Because it's such a huge company you don't really feel valuable. Also, it might be because of my job role as it's back office and our job is not as visible as sales guys or BDMs

Pros

I loved that everybody is friendly and willing to help. People have conversations with you in the kitchen and are genuinely interested in you as a person. The recruitment process also was very organised and informative every step of the way. There has never been a lack of information from anyone that I have dealt with from the HR person to the hiring manager.

Cons

It tales a while to get all your access provided and lots of learning when raising requests for access - things that can only be done when you are onboard.
