Serious managerial red flags

Pros

They deposited my paycheck directly.

Cons

Aggressive and demeaning management style. Leads by threat, negative attention and punishment. Myself and several teammates were made ill by the constant stressors. Only way to resolve was to leave. Abysmal communication skills and practices. Couldn't be worse than these guys. Condescension and passive aggressive methods are commonly employed against their employees. This is a managed services company. Support of their customer is used as a common ploy to distract from their treatment of employees. But they aren't transparent toward either customer or employee. Neither receives good treatment in reality.

Pros

Large reach, decent clients, solution offering is above average, targeting is semi-precise, sales infrastructure is almost suitable

Cons

Very low pay, top down only, toxic workplace, every element of the business is a lie, doggie dog, they are cheaters and manipulators, they don't listen to counsel, very unhealthy, mostly only hire Indians, very racist and sexist if your not Indian, when interviewing your not allowed any salary transparency and little opportunity to ask questions even in later stages in the interview process

Pros

Good Salary OK health care That is about it

Cons

Vacation and Sick time are in the same bank. Poor communications Poor planning Get promises in writing and keep copies handy. Otherwise they deny or slow walk promises. Miscalculates staff then has to hard corrections to project including lay offs or salary reductions.
