Pros

Friendly coworkers and nice office

Cons

Managers are extremely political and treat employees like slaves, with absolutely no respect. If you want to grow your career, look some where else. They expect you to stay at your position forever with zero chance of being promoted as they tend to hire managers from outside. I agree with most of other comments here that HR tends to be very manipulative, they do not reveal everything when hiring. There is absolutely no benefits, no company culture, minimal vacation, and the pay is extremely low compared to market rates. The entire company is also full of secrets and no information is reveal to employees. You are expected to do just what you are told and no questions ask. Managers do not know how to manage, and think they are superior than other people.

Pros

Great management while working autonomously, never had any issues as the culture was very rewarding without being overwhelming.

Cons

If you can't work well autonomously and be able to figure out what you need to do then probably not the best fit for the role.

Pros

They don’t micromanage. Also, no silly performance and productivity reports. They’re also not too harsh if you’re late or want to leave a bit early.

Cons

There’s no growth here. People have been working for over 15 years and can only reach the team lead position. All upper management is hired from outside. Salaries are below market average because employees work on visas. They expect you to do extra work every year but never promote you or significantly raise your salary. The benefits are terrible. They don’t even give you PTO balance in advance. They try to make you feel guilty when you take sick days.
