Pros

My project has always been flexible with schedules and expectations, with relative management involvement. The job is not demanding in any way, so it's relatively easy to freelance/study on the side.

After probation, you get access to:

  • Internal promotions across other teams
  • Basic insurance
  • PRSA with matching benefits
  • Help covering your glasses every 2 years, etc...

If you can manage incompetence every day with a shrug, get the paycheck and focus on other things while applying to other jobs, this work might be for you and help you get some experience in a multilingual environment supporting global teams.

Cons

In my specific case, the client is an old tech corporation with little to no interest in improving their own product, much less invest in training for you to support their archaic platform. You can forget any kind of fulfillment or development until they've collected every second of profit available by making you click the same button 300 times.

That's the perfect client for Accenture, since their whole model revolves around disposable, subcontracted employment with extra high turnover rates, and it shows.

Have payroll issues? Good luck with a chatbot. No one told you there was a bonus? Surprise! People around you work remotely but you can't? Surprise!

Most of the time, middle management is also unsupported, constantly hiring people to cover for all the foreign new grads tired of this BS and trying to cover themselves from corporate. If you want exciting projects and learning, better stay away.
