Pros

When I started there were some amazing people working there. Within 6-12 months, they were all either let go for being disobedient or quit themselves.

Cons

- Extremely toxic management, very US oriented, military style. - management wants you to work in silos and not talk to other departments. They insist on having your manager talk to other departments. - very limited learning opportunities, work itself is not challenging nor stimulating. Your only job as a PM is to put out fires everywhere. You‘re more like a call center agent than a project manager. The job title itself is misleading and has nothing to do with project management. - Salary is low and they try to hook you on paying overtime. Which by itself is enough to prove the toxic culture I was mentioning earlier. Salary negotiations are impossible as your manager and their manager both say that they have no say in it. - the company doesn’t care about its employees and the meetings are only there so that they can mention how great KLD is - extreme cult vibes.

Pros

HR department was decent to deal with.

Cons

- Lack of focus on strategy, seemingly endless shifts in priorities week to week, month to month, year after year. Not congruent change, not progressive change, but chaotic disorienting change. - Upper management claims to have an absolute "No A-holes" policy, claims to want to encourage cooperation and growth. Then turns around and is fully complacent with obviously toxic behavior from people in positions of authority, especially technical authority. These toxic interactions gradually wore down people's desire to engage.
