Pros

There are some nice people who work here, try hard, and do good work.

Cons

No one follows a schedule, unsupportive teams, expected overtime, ignored personal boundaries, low pay, measly sick days, no upward mobility or chance for promotion, Hires people at higher titles than folks who’ve been here years (though new hires have half the experience), Massive favoritism, Tons of nepotism. No diversity. Random new rules regarding unused vacation. Wants to implement tech style vibe but can’t walk the talk- just admit you’re a random firm that is not interested in anything but the bottom line. Staff constantly sick from working their fingers to the bone. Did I mention very low pay?
