Pros
- The sporting and social environment is good, however with Covid there is none. - You will make friends for life - Once your friends leave Triz they will help you find a new job as well
Cons
- Worst salary in SA - Don't expect a raise, it won't happen - You have to pay Triz for a parking spot close to the building or walk 400m to and from the public parking spot - No overtime pay but if you don't work overtime then you will not get your bonus at the end of the year - Extremely high Employee turnover - Everyone at Triz is looking for a new job because nobody can live off the salary and the management is too ridiculous to deal with - MICROmanagement to the nth degree - a meeting every morning to discuss the work for the day, then you have to send and email after work to describe the work you did for the day. Every day there is a meeting for the different departments where you discuss the work for the week, AND you have 3 meetings per week with American Clients to discuss the same work again. AND at the end of every day you have to fill out timesheets accurate to 15 minutes which they punish you if they don't believe you are telling the truth (whether you are or not) - Management agrees to deadlines before discussing the scope of work so project deadlines are always late - Management is out to make money and do not care about your well-being - You will have better luck arguing with a brick wall than you will with the HR guy because he has made his mind up before he hears what you have to say (whether he's wrong or not you will receive the same outcome) - Don't expect to make the company/product better because you will get this answer 100% of the time: "this is how we have always done it and it works so don't change it". - They don't encourage creativity - Expect to be treated like a school child and not a professional - If you survive more than 2 years at Triz they WILL find a way to force you to resign - All-in-all, don't do it. Rather stay unemployed than work here because you will find something better.
