Pros

high payment, fancy high-tech offices and equipment, well established company

Cons

Leadership was incompetent, with many smokers, who with their smoker fan-group made gossips about the non-smokers, who worked while the fan-group had their smoking breaks - in addition to their normal breaks, coffee breaks, wellbeing breaks etc. Some TLs ran relationships with members from their teams, allowing them whatever these wanted, i.e. daily lateness, extra days off. Then somehow only these fan-group members (usually HR and QA colleagues) were promoted, and presented as top-performers, who even in their rare and short work intervals between the breaks and their constant meetings, with usually close-to-zero technical/IT skills were still allegedly the top-performers. Meanwhile the ones beyond the fan-group (usually the ones with high-level IT/language skills) had no development opportunities, and once having realized it, one after another left the company. Hopefully things have changed in the meantime.

Pros

The benefits are good so far just like any other company

Cons

Terrible managers Employees are getting away with traveling without using PTO when they are on EDO because they are friends with managers. This raises concerns regarding fairness, policy compliance, and equitable treatment of employees. If the manager dont like you, Your life will be hell and they will find the stupidest mistakes to kick you out. Again, some people get away of not using their pto and they will travel and claim they are working while manager is okay with it. Bunch of hypocrites
