Pros

Salary is paid on time every month

Cons

Compensation is too low and not competitive. Management culture is toxic and disrespectful; middle managers prioritize self-promotion over leadership, often showing one face to senior management and another to staff. Cross-functional collaboration is almost nonexistent due to siloed teams and weak internal networking. Limited account management expertise; teams are often directed based on assumptions rather than proven practices. Products are outdated, with little innovation or meaningful updates in the past 20 years. Management style is rigid, outdated, and inflexible. Employees who voice differing opinions are often isolated instead of being heard.
