Pros

This is not an engineering company, They don't own anything or intellectual property for any important technical project. I don't find anything pro at this toxic organization. These so called managers are liars

Cons

They say fictive projects before joining the organization. When you join they would tell the projects are no longer. You moved in that town where the project was supposed to be and after that, you stress out where you would be moved and hard to quantify the waste of time. They would tell you to go to London for futile meetings and evaluations. If you are desperate for finding a job, maybe it is worth it because it is a quick process to join. Easy come, easy out as well. They scale up the business on fictive figures and lie to the customers. The engineers are used as the third part and you have to deliver and you might be involved in embarrassing meetings with the client when the manager says wrong stuff. If you are an engineer, your career is going to be compromised if you are an ambitious person and want to develop,

Pros

Working at this company has been a truly positive experience for me. It’s a place where I’ve been able to learn and develop my skills, and I really appreciate that they invest in my growth by paying for my certifications. I’m also involved in special projects with high added value, which has had a strong impact on my career development. What makes the biggest difference for me is the way they support me as a mom. Having the option to work remotely when needed is extremely important, and it’s something we rarely find elsewhere. I’ve never felt judged for being a mother—quite the opposite. They understand my responsibilities at home while ensuring that the client is always satisfied. This balance means a lot to me, and it makes me feel valued both as an employee and as a person. Overall, I’m truly grateful to be part of a company that invests in my future, trusts me with meaningful work, and respects my personal needs.

Cons

Due to the global economic situation, salary increases and bonuses have been impacted.
