Pros

- Excellent benefits, better than any other corporate in South Africa if not the best - Flexible working hours, starting between 7-9am - Very very long term incentive plans - International travel once you enter the management structures - Willing to relocate to international offices if the need arises

Cons

- Global Data department is extremely limited, there are very few outs and even fewer growth opportunities within the department unless you choose management - Management is the only way to really grow in the company, with respect to compensation and career growth - Uncompetitive salary with minimal initial increases - Opaque compensation reviews (not negotiable) and peer performance reviews - No focus on growing employee skills and product knowledge peaks after six months - No form of mentorship whatsoever - Management are big-headed and unwilling to acknowledge failures or errors in judgement - Nepotism and self-preservation is far too common
