Fosters self-actualization
Pros: o I feel I am appreciated within the business and that management care for my well-being. Further, there are opportunities for me to contribute my ideas for how things can be improved.
o Training is first-class, and equips me well to take on project challenges.
o Opportunity to work with very intelligent and capable people, who often inspire me to develop further
o Some scope for flexible working and travelling (if you state these as intentions)
o Career progression is subject to frequent review - if you are excelling in your role you can expect a favourable chance of promotion
o Entitlement to 25 days holiday/year and additional fringe benefits can be chosen according to your preferences
o Working in a nice office currently and we are set to move to new premises in summer 2020.
o Cut-throat culture does not exist here - instead the focus is on collaboration and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Cons: o In some busy times of the year, you may need to do overtime to ensure deadlines are met (50 hours + overtime in a month, but is paid). In my experience it has not been excessive though some other projects have had challenging time commitments.
o Starting salary is a little low, but I suppose calibrated to Belfast cost of living.
o We've outgrown our current office so can be a little busy/crowded in some respects, however are moving office within the next 18 months
