Pros

Decent pay, good work-life balance

Cons

Leadership at the director level is consistently poor and one of the company’s biggest liabilities. Many directors lack the basic communication, accountability, and people-management skills required to lead teams effectively. Feedback is routinely ignored, follow-through is unreliable, and decision-making often feels arbitrary or politically driven. The company also does not honoring two-week notice periods, immediately terminating employees after they resign. This practice is unprofessional and short-sighted, sending a strong message that respect only goes one way. It creates a culture of fear, discourages transparency, and damages the company’s credibility with current and future employees.
