Horrible company that takes advantage of the employees on visa

Business Outlook

Pros

Good location, Germantown Is a nice area with a lot of great housing options and a nice vibe

Cons

This company overworks their best employees to their breaking point. We’re expected to work on projects without pay and also are pushed to work overtime without pay. I have had to endure 12 hour work days just to satisfy the unwarranted expectations of higher up who have no idea how to set a timeline. The company definitely takes an advantage of those on visa by overworking them and not rewarding in any way. The teams are all short staffed so you’ll be expected to do the work of three employees.
