Pros

the only good thing is the location.

Cons

Unapproachable co-worker(s), superior who is not willing to listen to your concern and has no respect/empathy towards your well-being and request. HR who is also unwilling to listen to both sides of the story because HR only has company and management's interests in mind, unfair and not impartial; cold and unfeeling. Lack of structured on-the-job training to help new hires to ease into the new environment and be clear of their job scope. But then again. perhaps not the entire organization is like this but there is always a black sheep somewhere. Extremely cold environment and I’m not just talking about the air-conditioning. Stifling environment. For those thinking that u want to join a company that gives u learning opportunities, quit that thinking because they expect u to pick things up in speed lightning and expects u to deliver in a couple of weeks. Even better when u are able to work outside office hours
