Pros

Relatively relaxed working environment. Generous amount of paid leave

Cons

- Poor management and disorganized best describe this company. I'm pretty sure those messages about changes bringing in challenges or things are getting better are written from the marketing or HR to counteract those true but negative comments. - Management doesn’t listen to feedback from front office and insists on their own decision without giving a damn to the reality. When things turn out negatively, they just keep pushing the frontline staff like they are not doing their jobs which is absolutely not true. - Pushes to sell services that we don't have resources at all and count on the front office to locate resources on an on-demand basis with zero guidelines whatsoever. Launches tech products that are not finished / broken and leaves many questions unanswered, which has become the practice of the company. - Favors those yes-man and let go of those who dare to say no but give constructive feedback and suggestions, probably because they are paid higher. - Setting unrealistic goals and ends up blaming people for not able to meet those sky-high goals. This has started the blame games vicious cycles, for no one dares to say no to the management and the only thing they can do to protect themselves is pointing fingers to the others. This creates a very toxic culture. - Management keeps changing and the structure is getting clumsier. Unfortunately most of the new management are clueless and the company has to repeatedly making the same mistakes to find out what should be done. - It used to be a company supported by many knowledgeable high performers from top to bottom, they are mostly underappreciated and the toxic environment has either driven them away or turned them into a yes-man. - A lots of M&A which are supposed to diversify the company’s offering. But under such an ineffective leadership, I’m not sure how they can get this company off the ground. it just aggravates the chaotic situation. - They don’t care much about the quality but the high margin or revenue only to make the P/L looks good. Maybe they are getting ready to sell the company. So stay away.

Pros

Clients are generally understanding and I was able to work remotely. Management was very professional and they had a great open door policy. I would still be there if I hadn't been laid off during the restructuring when they were purchased by Propio.

Cons

There is a cap on the pay and a lot of turnover with entry-level management.
