Cons – Lots of Company gossip from management
Butt kissers get promoted to management positions, not the people with skills or knowledge to manage teams for department growth.
Company culture of passing the buck, as well as the Blame.
Managers quick to take credit for work/solutions they had nothing to do with, & could not explain how solution was created or how it would work.
Very rare for you to move within the company, they seem to hire from outside than promote someone within the company.
As I know that I have turned in my resume for other positions I have been qualified for, only to hear the dept. manager say they never received it.
High turnover rate, as lots of coworkers have left for better opportunities.
Company does not show loyalty to employees that have sacrificed to help the success of Telenav.
