Pros

No pros on working here.

Cons

No work life balance Micromanagement at peak, they use a tool to take the snapshot your screen every minute and HR go through it and ask if screen is ideal for 5 minutes. This tool monitors hours too, if your screen time is less than 8 hours, HR will call you and tell you that you are not working properly irrespective of the client feedback. You receive no recognition for good work but get reminded every time if screen is ideal for 5 minutes or if you worked less than 8 hours according to that tool. No team support, senior doesn’t care about your well being. If project ended, no job security either.

Pros

- Acts like a family - Overall nice people

Cons

- Useless ineffectual management that severely lacks people management skills - NO communication between leaders whatsoever - Stupid company wide choices made on a whim based on what the CEO THINKs will be a good market choice. (It's not) - Overly eager to buy out new entities without actually doing anything with existing assets. - Nobody knows what anyone else is doing and if you ask they'll ignore you
