Pros

Some colleagues are talented and helpful. Opportunity to experiment, but mostly on outdated project

Cons

Unprofessional Leadership: The leadership talks behind employees' backs like a teenager. Maybe because they lack experience in running a startup or business. Instead of leading, they burn cash, incur losses, and vent frustrations on employees. No Scalable Projects: The work is limited to small business CMS solutions, with nothing innovative or scalable to gain real experience. Exploitative Work Culture: Leadership expects employees to tolerate low pay and long hours under the "startup" excuse. Outdated Technology & Unethical Practices: They are looting customers' money using weird, outdated coding methods that offer no real value.

Pros

PENNEP is awesome place for work. I've completed my 8 months here and I feel the environment and people are too good here. Everyone here is very supportive especially my manager. I've the privilege of being under my manager's guidance. Her ability to teach and explain complex concepts is truly commendable. Good work culture, transparency, and the best part is you can directly interact with the CEO. Great experience to be here.

Cons

Less fun or games activities, like fun Friday.
