Worst company I have ever worked for. Run while you still can

Pros

The pay was good. That’s all there is to it.

Cons

There were fights between coworkers — both on work-provided chat rooms and in person — every other day at one point. A group of people provoked an autistic person into getting fired by bullying them and calling that person ableist slurs. HR covered it up and STILL ALLOWED EVERYONE FROM THAT GROUP TO COME INTO WORK without giving them any disciplinary action. Management is also the most disorganized I have ever seen out of any company. What the leads will tell you is completely different from what upper management will tell you. Upper management will keep their lower management in the dark about so many important things. This company will also trick their employees into thinking their efforts at work matter, but in reality, they don’t care about them at all. They will let their employees go without any reason, and without any warning. This company does not care about you at all.

Pros

Their products are OK and the company revenue continues to grow.

Cons

Managers do not know how to manage, they control people. Nobody cares about your development. When you need support from other colleagues on a project, it is highly possible that you will be pushed back. If you are the most recent hire of your team, you will be assigned tasks that other people don’t want to do or least important things are trivial for a long time. And you won’t get properly mentored. Work life balance is terrible. Low pay. High turnover rate. Please avoid this company if you care about your mental health and future development. Several people I know, including me, feel quite depressed and stressful working here.
