Pros

There are no Pros working for this company. The leadership is toxic and cover for employees who have no business being in any firm.

Cons

The leave policy is the worst I've ever seen in my life. The pay is lower than any similar stateside job with the same responsibilities. They reduce the benefits employees are entitled to receive that are provided to them by the Government like COLA without reason.
