Pros

Better than Thee design. They also once employed a HR specialist. That was pretty okay. When they fell ill, the president never addressed it until he was asking employees to fill a workplace survey culture. He said something like "You guys know how the HR personal is battling health issues. Well, this survey really meant a lot to them and they would really want us to win this award. So please fill out out and think of that person." Oh. That's just one story.

Cons

Illegal working methods. Near scandal. We were instructed not to talk to the press at one point because we thought they may investigate one of the government projects. Yah know, normal work stuff. "We are looking for a cultural fit" in the interview means "We hope you can get down with our clubhouse vibes and in-crowd attitudes" Don't even think about an legitimate HR complaint. You are wasting their time. The people who are friends with the boss sit back and collect a paycheck. Everyone else doubles down around a cracking whip on some overpromise and underdelivered project. So. It's pretty awesome.

Pros

They pay reasonably well and allow work from home.

Cons

Not as structured as I am used to, so it is hard to find work to do when it is slow, fortunately, this has not affected my wages.

Pros

The company stands out for its flexibility around employee time-off requests, which is greatly appreciated and contributes positively to work-life balance. Another significant positive is the strong team spirit; colleagues are supportive and consistently collaborate, creating a healthy team environment.

Cons

There are several areas where the company could improve: Intensive Oversight: The most prominent issue is the intense focus on monitoring employee activities, down to tracking each minute of the workday. This level of oversight often feels excessive and can be counterproductive. Rigid Management Approach: The management style leans towards being overly detail-oriented, sometimes focusing on minor aspects that can seem trivial. This approach can lead to a feeling of constant scrutiny. Inconsistent Directions and Processes: The lack of clear and consistent processes leads to frequent changes in directives, contributing to confusion and inefficiency in workflow. Limited Growth Opportunities: The company’s support for professional growth and development is limited. Compensation and Rewards: The current compensation structure, including the approach to wage increases and the absence of bonuses, does not align well with industry standards or the current economic context.
