Given a seemingly equivalent option and a choice, don't choose this one
Pros: - The teams are extremely friendly for the most part
- Initial training period for grads is intended to foster a decent level of camaraderie
- Some projects may be interesting in different parts of the business, but not the case in mine
- Opens doors to future employers
Cons: - Salary is not especially competitive relative to the rest of the market. Raises in the initial stages at the firm not even 5% adjusted for inflation
- Work life balance highly dependent on the project and role within a teamwith senior management seemingly blind to the imbalances; some people are allocated no work for months at a time, others work 10+ hour days, again, for months on end. Both are obviously problematic leading to lack of motivation and inability to progress career in the case of the former, or tending to burnout for the latter
- Large support structure technically in place, not actually used to any effect
- Failure to provide proper end of year reviews
- Strict promotional structure (once a year) failing to account for differences in performance especially in the earlier grades. Promotions in latter grades seemingly dependent on ability to demonstrate good performance in current grade rather than readiness in future grade, leading to a management structure that does not actually know how to manage
- Failure to allow people to change projects for multiple months and/or years (have seen this with multiple individuals) despite expressed interest, and opportunities being present. Perhaps due to senior management contending over which resources belong to whom, but not helpful overall
