Pros
Generally good work/life balance, flexible hybrid system
Cons
My review of the cons refer to the Discover Graduate Program in Greece. Unfortunately, I regret choosing Vodafone as my first employer after graduation. The program offers rotation, but HR will not inform you of the all (or even some) of the avaliable placements. They will choose the one they need to fill the most regardless of the interests you have stated in initial interview. When you want to switch teams, the approach is similar. I even had a senior hr employee tell me that if I don't take the offered rotation, we may have reached a dead end in my employment. HR does not really care about you being content at your placement, and if your team members also don't care, you are left to deal with HR on your own. However it was a good lesson for me learn to advocate for myself. The pay stays the same for two years straight (1300 gross), and then they offer you a maximum salary of 1600 gross. IMO if you come from an engineering background this salary is a bit of a joke considering you have already been there for two years. The salary is also non negotiable because "it would be unfair for the other graduate trainees" (actual words spoken by HR). So instead of rewarding you for staying loyal for two years, they are essentially punishing you. If you come from an engineering background you can get more money and learn more things in any other company. It may be a good place to work however if they hire as a mid or senior engineer, cause then you have more negotiation power over your salary.
