Your life? Oh come on: client first..
Pros: There are a lot of good people in this company. You can find friends sometimes and not just colleagues.
Cons: I don't know where to start. Probably I'll start with the work/life balance: it's horrible.
Tenths and tenths of overtime cumulated without compensation; Time off in lieu only goes at the discretion of your line manager or team leader which sometimes doesn't even really know the hard work you've been doing but it's always eager to point out that you don't really work 8 hrs because you take breaks or sometimes you arrive at 9.09 am instead of 9, while nobody ever complained when you stayed in the office untill 9. 10 or even 11 Pm to get the job done at your best. Seriously?
Also career programs are very weak. The ISSC it's one big turtle. You can stay in the same position for years without really getting any significant better salary or quality or responsibility: only more work to do because you're "the expert" now.
