Incompetent and unproffesional senior management. Asked for details of your contacts and connections in the first 3 days when newly hired. Required to give regular interviews on short notices. Lots of time spend on preparing useless tasks for senior management. Sent to client interview on 2nd day of work without a project description or any management advice. Huge focus on cost cutting and getting you billable without any morals.
