Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money

Pros

- in practice, WFH/office is completely up to you - 60 sick days yearly - solid pay, above average for the local market - people are nice in general - work life balance

Cons

- very slow processes, too much bureaucracy, maybe even by corporate standards - sometimes outdated tech and depending on random legacy projects - new projects tend to be fine - yearly pay rises are low - number of people promoted is artificially limited, coupled with low yearly rises this leads to actual pay rise being hard to achieve - limited access to the internet, restricted local account, if a tool is not present in IT's offer you're out of luck
