Pros
I had the pleasure of working alongside few of the smartest, most capable people the sense of camaraderie within teams often made the impossible just about manageable. It’s the people who hold the place together when leadership doesn’t.Once a year, the company puts on an impressive global event. You’re flown to an international destination, put up in a hotel, and given the full “big company” experience.If you manage to stay long enough (and that’s a big if), But you’ll work very hard for it, and any increase comes after years of proving you can survive the pressure.
Cons
You’re expected to be online until the job is done and it’s never done. constantly overworked, undervalued, and expected to perform at the same level as fee earning staff but without the pay or recognition. You're not seen as a contributor, just a resource. Major issues are flagged repeatedly, but they go unaddressed. The higher up you go, the more disconnected leadership becomes. Sadly, HR seems more concerned with protecting senior leadership than resolving real issues quickly learn that speaking up leads nowhere or worse, gets turned against them. No solutions are offered. People burn out, leave, and the cycle continues. And the message is always the same: keep pushing or get out. The company talks about learning opportunities, but when you’re working 24-hour days, when exactly are you meant to grow? You don't develop you cope.
