There are some good people here and there, it is safe, it was a nice company at the beginning of my employment before things went downhill

Cons

No opportunities for growth, micromanagement, timesheet issues, low pay, cutting away benefits for employees while bragging that revenue grows, poor internal mobility

Pros

Salary payments always done in time

Cons

Poor benefits designed to satisfy only bare minimum legal requirements, basic health insurance. Basic salary is 60% of total package so terminal benefits are low. Lack of leadership and progression transparency
