Pros

- Flexibility of working hours. - Flexibility of working from home. - Most coworkers are nice.

Cons

Probably one of the worst companies to work for. RUN AWAY AS LONG AS YOU CAN!!! - Way too much overtime and stress. Employees are expected to work 10-12 hours regularly and sometimes on weekends. No work-life balance at all. - Insults, attacks, verbal abuses from sales and vendors are on daily basis. - The majority of the projects are impossible to manage. Too much workload, too little budget and too tight schedule. You will experience absolutely NO success in your work. - Production do not have the right to make plans, but the sales do. But if you can't complete the project based on the absurd project plans made by the sales, the responsibility will be on you. - The upper managers do not make any decisions. They will only give you "advices", and ask you to ask somebody else, and somebody else will again ask you to ask somebody else. Eventually, all responsibilities will be on your own shoulder. - You will get complaint tickets and even lawsuits from all around the world. The company relies heavily on individual freelancers, and because most of the projects will be failed, you can easily run out of budget to pay people. - Computers are mostly broken. Most software/tools are full of bugs and not useable. Lots of employees purchase their own software to work. It doesn't which department you are in. IT'S THE SAME ALL OVER THE COMPANY.

Pros

The work isn't too tough. The people in the office are skilled and pleasant. There are decent benefits and you can work from home for 2 days.

Cons

The pay is bad. Decent for when you first start but raises are small and infrequent. Bonuses are even smaller and more infrequent. We were fully remote but slowly have been forced back into office for no good reason.
