Pros

There are conference opportunities at this workplace.

Cons

- Lower that market salary. - Bullying in the form of excessive criticism/undermining (constant nitpicking and setting unrealistic project expectations for new staffs to fail), hostile communication, and isolation (deliberately preventing new staffs from working with others in the team). - No accountability or support from leadership. Managers would blame new staff for mistakes while providing no proper training or guidance. - Passive-aggressive and hostile communication. Feedback and emails were delivered in a way that undermined confidence and created a hostile and psychologically unsafe work environment. - No structured onboarding. New staff were thrown into highly technical projects with no hands-on training, expected to “figure it out” from videos. - Poor communication from lower management, unclear tasks and expectations. Work was assigned in fragments every time, with no full picture, forcing staff to chase down missing details. - Lack of empathy and psychological safety in the workplace. Struggles or distress were met with criticism instead of support. - Long hours and poor work–life balance.

Pros

I'm not there anymore. Fair pay. Started out great.

Cons

Midway through a year-long contract I already started looking. It was an extremely boring place to work. This is the kind of place where you stay within your boundary. In other words, if you are an architect, you design diagrams all day. No hands-on work - even if you know what you're doing. I was even rebuked on several occasions for working with a developer to help him out. I was told I needed to tell him to ask someone else responsible for that. If you like to do hands on and you are an architect, you will hate it here.
