Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation and benefits with faster immigration team to provide sponsorship.

Cons

My team was worst, no work life balance as you are expected to be online and responding to messages till late night. Team is always on fire and no appreciation for hard working employees. Managers were bad enough to not understand team’s situation but put pressure on entire team to get work completed regardless of employees burning out a lot. No empathy towards employees as a manager.
