Pros

* Remote working? But, we could have been working remotely for three years, but it required a pandemic for it to happen and employees were STILL required to work in a computer lab through April 2020. Anyway, remote working is not a novel concept nowadays. Big deal. I'm just trying to find something good to say.

Cons

* Very tedious and client-specific work; skills and knowledge are not transferable * Company will bend over backwards for its clients, but not for its employees * Little upward advancement, but many who have achieved it aren't qualified * For a company in the technology field, it is not very forward-thinking

Pros

When there is work available, especially when this project first launched, you could make decent money. The Quality Improvement Program was once realistic and managers were accessible. They used to give us sick leave and it felt like a real job.

Cons

They took away our sick leave. Barely any work since Christmas, around 5 hours per week if you're lucky. The Quality Improvement Program has gone down the toilet. The quality checks constantly contradict the guidelines and the feedback from management is often contradictory and wildly inconsistent depending on the turnover. Lower level employees are constantly afraid of losing their job because there are random firings every quarter with no explanation.
