Cons

Low Salary and Bonus Management are too young and without previous managerial experience or job experience Long hours: 8 am - 6pm, you cannot arrive late or leave the office earlier You are constantly monitored and your work is controlled You are pushed to work really hard and to multitask You are not important, anyone can quit and be replaced very easily Most of the people leave the company after the first year Open planned floors with no natural light There is no career progression as such, it is all about customer assistance The company culture is too strong, especially in the first few weeks Sometime you are obliged to work during weekends and public holidays Old computers and screens Some positions involved too much travelling : 3 weeks out of 4 per month

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
