Pros

Very few good people. All the best ones have left the company.

Cons

The people who used to make this a positive, motivating place to work are no longer here—many were pushed out or discouraged by HR’s handling of internal issues. In one case, a strong performer was labeled as “underperforming” without any clear evidence or documentation, and was pressured to either “improve” or face termination. Situations like this have created an atmosphere of distrust and low morale. HR relies on policing rather than supporting employees. If you’re not at your desk every moment, you may become a target of their bullying tactics Work–life balance is not supported. There’s an implicit expectation that personal responsibilities take a back seat to work demands. No real path for growth. The promotion framework exists on paper, but moving up is dependent on subjective approval rather than actual achievements. Avoid this company if you need an environment that acknowledges your life outside of work or genuinely invests in your development. There is little support, limited growth, and employees are treated impersonally. Review the experiences of others—they’re accurate.
