Business Outlook

Pros

Atmosphere, Benefits, Team Building and Night Outs with multi-national colleagues

Cons

Seems to evolve to a standard call center, creativity and common sense not needed as everything is metrics driven with focus on efficiency. Standardisation instead of going the extra mile. Might be frustrating but is fine if you just want to do your work without thinking too much.
