Pros

Individual team members are lovely.

Cons

Bullying behaviour from the upper management, and an unwillingness to listen or take into account issues lower down the company. They do everything on the cheap, so when equipment is faulty, or long past its upgrade period, they continue to use it regardless. There's lots of 'big talk' but no improvement. Employees have to fight for wages and no one will take into account that various systems the company uses isn't working. There is very much a blame culture, and higher management won't take any account for anything. Everything is logged on various systems, but the systems are broken and incomplete but if there are any issues it is very much the individual's fault. The health and safety culture is suffocating, to the point where we would have weekly 'warnings' about things that could cause an issue. Everything from snake bites to posters about falling down the stairs (in a building that had no stairs). Anyone who is not in a management position is treated like an imbecile, and has no say in anything. The company very much pretends their workers are what make the business, but it never shows through in practice.
