Only if you're really in need of a job, and only for short term

Pros

No pros, the absolute worst experience in my entire career.

Cons
  • No career development opportunities whatsoever (HR is not responsive to internal applications at all).

  • The job itself is quite repetitive and monotonous. Even if you discover gaps or glitches in the system, there's almost no way to achieve any improvements on any level.

  • The company's digital marketing know-how is probably way behind industry standards. Therefore, even if you do your best, localization won't have much impact on your market's growth.

  • Your opinion or expertise is not respected, nor is it taken into account in any decisions affecting your job.

  • This is probably the least appreciated position in the whole company. Everyone knows better how you should do your job; you're the doormat of project managers and senior managers.

  • Remote working is not an option, although this is an absolute one-man-job.

  • Benefits/Travel credit: You have to cover your trips in advance and they'd reimburse the amount later on, but only if you book your trips on Expedia brands. This leaves you with no cheap traveling opportunities at all, not to mention that your credit barely covers more than a weekend trip (it's about 500 USD).

  • Benefits/Wellness credit: It's a bit less than the travel credit, which might be enough to cover a gym or studio pass for about half a year in Prague.
