Horrible leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

I gain some knowledge in my field.

Cons

The only word to describe this company's leadership is "terrible." The managers here have no capability nor heart to lead the employees. They are disrespectful and look down on employees. They are also condescending and insult employees often. I can attribute my negative experience here to the managers.

You would have never faced micromanagement like this in any company

Pros

No pros, can't think of anything, nothing!

Cons

Definition of toxic work culture. MICROMANAGEMENT is rampant throughout the company in many teams and is a huge reason why many people leave this company. Thee managers/higher management will never acknowledge this openly when they know it is currently one of their biggest issues, and will always try to blame the team. Please avoid this firm like a plague! Work hard and get into a better firm.

Pros

There are several cons that come to mind. There are no pros that come to mind at the moment.

Cons

The management of this workplace was not done properly. The upper management had no idea how to keep the company financially stable. It was awful! Many of us weren't sure what our career paths would be like as the the top management didn't carve out a clear path for us. Their careless attitude was ridiculous. Work-wise, there was no problem as the responsibilities only grew. So did the stress levels. No one can avoid extreme stress here. BEWARE!
