Pros

Nice cafeteria Decent benefits New building & equipment

Cons

In a mandatory all day training, HR lectured all managers about accountability. Functional managers are to blame for the Glassdoor comments, poor reputation and death-spiral attrition. Over the years I have heard management come up with many fairy tales to explain away their bad decisions and their poor leadership, but this takes the cake! HR adds no value in Malta. Their processes and systems are archaic and consistently disappoint. We can't hire good people and we can't promote good people. We can't give honest and accurate performance feedback to people. We are accountable for making HR's failures our responsibility. That is the ultimate accountability dodge.

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and the training is actually good training

Cons

If I didn’t know someone that worked since I was going to overnights I didn’t really meet anyone on my team except my manager once. Also I wouldn’t know who to reach out like manger wise if I didn’t know someone who already worked here
