Pros

Not found any in 9 months

Cons

Too many to list, but here are few Cons: The company initially offered a 6-month internship followed by full-time employment. After 6 months, we were unexpectedly told we would need to continue as interns for another 6 months. The bond period was extended from 2 years to 2.5 years without prior notice or agreement. The annual increment cycle has been pushed to every 2 years, again without prior communication. Interns are expected to work weekends and even night shifts, which is highly unprofessional and exploitative. All of these changes and demands are justified by the management by claiming "we don't have business," while still expecting full-time-level commitment.

Pros

The people are some of the best and like family. We care a lot about our teams and our customers. There are good leaders here but it has just become too hard for us to lead the way they want to.

Cons

Executive Leadership, especially the CEO. The culture has changed a lot since he replaced the former CEO. He does not operate with the same values that have been a part of the company ever since I got here. He rules by fear, control, micromanagement, and is unapproachable. You can see it in meetings with the business and even in our Company meetings. It is uncomfortable. He has started only bringing people in from his former network and they are bringing in their friends. Everything is India focused and North America people are losing their jobs and those that are left are burned out from the excessive workload. We are watching good employees leave either on their own or because they are forced out. The optics of who is leaving and why are not good. I want this to work but it feels like a sinking ship at this point. Our customers aren't even happy with us anymore and that makes our jobs even harder.
