Pros

Easy to get hired Nothing else

Cons

Bad pay Poor management who favor short-term profits for shareholders over product success Unproductive & toxic environment, makes you work over christmas due to bad scheduling Managers who contribute nothing, most projects always has 1-2 managers who just micromanage you and ask for updates. That's it. They have no knowledge of the product, no IT experience and you can in detail explain an issue to them and they just repeat it like a parrot for customers then forget about it. 1-2 days later they'll come with the same issue and go full panic mode. Just remove the middle management

Pros

Great company and good employees

Cons

This is one of the worst places I have ever worked. They do not care about their employees here; to them, you are just another number. They get upset when you use your sick days, even though they are a legal right, and then retaliate against you by punishing you when you return to work. And be careful about filing a complaint with Human Resources because they are two-faced. Instead of helping you, it often ends up backfiring on you. That is why no one feels comfortable going to them. This company does not appreciate or value its employees unless you have connections or favoritism. Management, starting from the top, has no clear direction. Everything constantly changes, even when it is not the best option, simply because someone higher up decided it. The environment feels outdated and authoritarian, like something from another era. There is a lot of hypocrisy, resentment, and abuse of power.
