Pros

Some of the employees and colleagues are great.....

Cons

Lots of politics between employees and managers. They support their own political teams....favoritism is high in this company, particularly in some of departments.... Stay away from this company to save your time, energy and destroying your career path....

Pros

The retirement benefits are a plus here. I really have nothing positive to say about this company. The manager and director I worked with are utterly unprofessional. They do not communicate at all and sometimes bully their staff.

Cons

The team I am working with gets offended when I send out project updates and deliver projects on time and early. My manager and director would send a staff to HR with a written warning without any pre-communication. And they would tell that staff that he is being terminated with ABC plan...
