Pros

Had a good Office Manager who was caring and colleagues were nice. 5 day break at the end of the year.

Cons

Bosses preach a lot about well-being and care but worked an intern even though he was suffering with Covid and Bedridden for the sake of a project. Bosses tend to lovebomb new employees until they're comfortable then start neglecting and even having occasions of verbal abuse and gaslighting. Very low pay and ridiculously low increments. Late nights and weekends. Low work-life Balance all masked as "training"

Pros

Family style. Nice tea breaks. Friendly colleagues.

Cons

HR is also front desk, is also scary, is also quite passive aggressive. Full timers are overloaded and often pressured by senior architects who asked them to OT a lot. Ran by a few QP and bosses are not very active.
