Pros

Decent base but low compared to others in industry

Cons

Really bad management - so many changes and yet pay staff lower. Hierachy based - APJ has so many changes and it seems very colour based hiring now. Current VP very toxic trying to bring back his older staff and made it unbearable to work - Good riddance of this company
