Pros

There are really no pros for this job

Cons

The management has unfortunately zero experience. They hired as crazy for years having hundreds of people doing almost nothing. Now that the customer figured that out, they keep cutting people, reducing salaries and benefits (very little to start with) for the same kind of job. They check even how many times you go to the bathroom but they don’t care about quality.

Pros

A lot of good people to work with.

Cons

The team needs to be revamped all the way up to the managing partner that is never in the office. The managing director for tech will bully and tear you apart, he lives for it. I tried to reach out to HR about the issues no response or no resolution. There is no clear direction no expectations of goal. If you need help good luck trying to meet with a manager. The company will protect top preforms at all cost.
