Pros

- A good example of an unprofessional department management - Easy to get hired if you know the recruiting team in person - Annually, a company trip to the US or the Bahamas

Cons

- Department managers have a full autocracy over employees; there is no control system over them. The board only care about the numbers, not about the management or building culture within the company. - In this environment, with the power poisoning of department managers, use the 'churn & burn' strategy, and this does not bother the company management - No training or onboarding plan - No clear role & responsibilities (you can find yourself working on whatever comes to the manager's mind at the time) - Success measured by smoke & mirrors, sycophancy - Department manager creates internal & external rivals to motivate the team to work more intensely - No clear organisational scheme and career growth paths - Cronyism & Nepotism are the only culture - No HR department or anyone specialised in employment law - Extreme workload, no work-life balance

Pros

Small company trying to expand at the expense of employees.

Cons

False promises of bonuses, don’t honor there own offer even in the first year. Misrepresenting salaries + bonus on there offer and don’t pay it out at the end of the year. Benefits are too expensive and don’t advertise until you join and trapped.
