Pros

I loved the work I did. The employees are some of the hardest working folks I know, despite the environment. The jobs are interesting and challenging. The work is fulfilling. I always heard great things about the company and it’s a who’s who of experts with vast experience. I was truly excited to join the company, but then the facades came crashing down. To quote one manager, it was all “smoke and mirrors.”

Cons

Not what I was hired to do. Micromanagement at its worst Everything is a big secret. Management is horrible Pay is low for the work you do. Backstabbing galore They hire you for one job and then put you is a situation to work way above that position without appropriate compensation Management is all about the bottom line and not the employees Nepotism Pay policies are inconsistent between employees and locations. Not all employees at one location are paid under the same criteria. Shady managers They don’t follow their own HR policies Poor communication Environment of favoritism and politics No incentives or recognition for a job well done Management and senior employees are quick to smear other employees without due process.

Pros

Good salary, colleagues, IT team.

Cons

Bad "leaders", Poor Human Resource, Poor management, micromanagement at its finest, poor communication, no professional growth, unclear expectations, deadlines and goals, toxic environment, it seems promotions are for those with harassment cases, no recognition, no remote work and if they give one remote day, they take it off if there's a holiday on the week (makes no sense), you have to pay to go to work (you have to pay the parking).
