Cons

. Extremely high turnover rate (including the HR team itself) . Micromanaging culture . Management personnel with poor leadership skills and uninspiring . Highly political environment . Many roadblocks when delivering work, mainly from inefficient internal processes, backdated software, and politics . Practice a biased hiring process, friends of senior management are hired instead of needed talents . The workforce is made up of a lot of people that have questionable job scopes and input, that can add true value to the company . Negative drinking culture. believes that alcohol with customers is the key way to generate sales revenue. And alcohol with management can set you up for promotion. people got drunk and wasted in the office . Females get an unspoken advantage over males . and so on

Pros

The bonus is good and everything else is awfully terrible

Cons

Really not a place to develop oneself as there is just too much negative and bad eggs that will affect your health and mental well being. It use to be a industry well respected employer but it jus no longer is.
