      Pros

      Salary on time is the only pro I can think of

      Cons

      Here’s a sharp, structured draft for your company review that captures the frustration while keeping it professional and impactful: --- Company Review The management culture here is deeply disappointing. The IT Director behaves in a mean-spirited way, showing no real leadership — only blame games and finger-pointing. When vendor resources were cut, they were still treated like royalty, while permanent employees in India were treated like garbage. There is no genuine support system for employees, and the environment is toxic. Management needs to reflect on why people are leaving. Employees are not quitting because of the workload; they are quitting because of the lack of respect, trust, and leadership. Until this changes, attrition will continue to happen
