Pros

Decent pay, really great IT staff who operate very well despite the chaotic environment.

Cons

High turnover rate due to long hours, extreme stress due to unrealistic expectations, and not enough staff. Antiquated networks and servers worldwide with little or no attempt to upgrade. More time and energy is spent on monitoring and fixing the same issues on equipment literally every day...a complete waste of valuable resources. Documentation lacking since many are not there long enough to keep it updated. Data Center is a security and standards nightmare. Strategy and high level decision making based out of Singapore...which has no idea about business requirements and IT services in the states. Sr. IT management finger pointing about roles and responsibilities instead of addressing high priority issues head on. One of the worst IT managed companies I ever worked for.

Pros

Medical assistance company so you will always have help at hand if you fall sick...and yes I don't see any pros, why would I rate it a 1 star otherwise?

Cons

Management lacks the people skills, careers progressions are based on personal choices and not merits, expect to work hard and go unnoticed by your manager who will readily take the credit for your efforts, keep you from getting any visibility and be a good talker, wouldn't care to listen. And with all this comes the added bonus that this company pays much less than the industry average for a majority of the positions. HR is a function to tick a box. So you can only hope and wait and then finally leave.

Pros

I can find no good reason why anyone would want to work for this organisation. The company sells a duty of care product to employers but fails to comply with this in practice themselves.

Cons

CEO is a dictator. Group CFO is the same. It is a horrible place to work with stress levels beyond all stress. HR is a joke. Recruitment is an ever bigger joke.CEO works 18 hours a day and is a vile individual in my opinion. A culture of dictatorship and micro management. Someone else posted "like mafia" in my opinion I concur Arnaud Vassie on the other hand is a man of integrity and fairness
