Pros

Good people (other than the ones in management, upper management is terrible)

Cons

- Hostile and threatening corporate management. - Live and work with the fear of being laid-off any day. - CEO is a power freak and tries to monitor and control every little thing in the company, himself. Even managers seem to be scared of taking initiatives. - No free snacks or coffee, a very rare phenomenon for a tech company. - The company (CEO mostly) considers itself a Singapore company, not an USA company. Tries to force Singaporean work culture on American employees. - Company mindset is to save money to show investors that they are making profits. This translates directly into NO R&D funding. So no real technological growth. - In reality company is very stagnant without any innovations, profitable (on papers) only due to very aggressive cost-cutting measures. - No bonus or perks. Be happy that they pay for health insurance (partially).
