Too much pressure and you always feel on your own

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Engineers are really smart and very responsible and deserve more respect

Cons

Culture is really bad. Manager acts like the king and show no appreciation. I saw manager fire people on the same day after tiny disagreement with employee. It's generally highly competitive and people back-stab to get ahead. It's not a good place for introvert people as your achievement won't be credited to you.
