Pros

People there are generally nice. Good benefits

Cons

Not recommended for ops. Not much to learn or progress in any of the roles in operations. Toxic manager. Anything you do, everyone will know even if it should be kept secret. If you are looking for a place that treats employees as an important asset, this is not the place for you.

We are sorry to hear you had a bad experience with the firm and hope this was not your impression of the organisation wide management and only specific to one or some individuals. We are consistently trying to improve our employees well-being and train our managers on the basis of upwards assessments we receive on them.
