Pros

I cannot thing of anything else than home office

Cons

Some people were very toxic and fake nice since the very first day of my arrival. People in my team were constantly trying to give their work to me just to get rid of their responsibility. The origanization of tasks was poorly done by the manager and herself didn't even do what she had to do. There was constant pressure on me just because distribution partners were not replying our emails so we couldn't get some work done..This company was a total chaos. Some days I didn't know where to start first. I had part time job working 4hours but they wanted me to do the job worth of 12hours every day. Some other days there was nothing to do at all. There were constant problems with software I worked with and IT issues got resolved so slowly. For example, it took more than 2 weeks to solve some basic problem (I couldn't upload some file in the system). Every person was avoiding their responsibility to help me. I also really disliked one colleague who was constantly patronizing me as if I was a toddler and she kept messaging me all the time for stupid things. This job had absolutely zero career opportunity. I was just killing time doing it because I took a language course. I do not advise anyone working there if you are ambitious and actually wanna move somewhere in life.

Pros

good work life balance flexibility of work

Cons

most leaders are specialists in marketing only, they sell "dreams" to other senior leaders trying to get funding for the next year, most of those projects sold as dreams dont take off very well and the employees suffer burnout under bad apples and conflicted women managers who cannot be complained against since they are women! no gain in knowledge from the work done when the last years sold dreams dont take off, newer stories and newer dreams are build around them to showcase change of objective to yet another more ambitious dream, only to keep the show running until the higher leaders have progressed or rotated into their next target role/function overall this company and its shareholders will pay a huge price for hiring incompetent women leaders
