Pros

Unfortunately there is nothing to say here except that it taught me what not to look for in a company and never to judge a book by it's cover is a very true phrase.

Cons

1. Very scared management. Decisions take a VERY VERY VERY long time to be made 2. management change what they say in seconds when they are in trouble. 3. Pay is below average of the market 4. Lack of support 5. Too many unfulfilled promises 6. Product Quality 7. Product delivery 8. Worst bonus scheme ever experienced 9. High turnover of employees 10. Old school management 11. Everything is centralized 12. No trust in people 13. Lack of appreciation 14. Caliber of people being hired is not up to standard can go on, but i think this is enough

Pros

If you are okay supporting a business that is focused on building wealth instead of developing skills and business understanding of objectives, then you will fit right in as long as you learn two important phrases "Great idea boss" and "Yes sir, I will carry out all of your plans so you will be recognized by upper management". DON'T ROCK THE BOAT!

Cons

I have already posted a con, but noticed another con that other posts point to. I read about disappointment of no remote work anymore. Remote work is difficult; you have a hard time building collaboration, teamwork and trust in a remote situation. But as I look at myself, I am on-site and love coming to work - would rather be around my team and have a constant pulse on the culture where I can address any issues immediately. Ask yourself, other than the loss of commute time and being in the comfort of your own home - why do people prefer to work from home. Many times, it can be due to avoiding the stress and anxiety that exists at work. Now ask yourself, what would make people want to be in the office versus at home. Whether you are remote or in person, not wanting to come into the office may be a sign that you are not happy and lacking fulfillment from your current circumstances.
