Pros

The best reason you would want to work at iConnect360 are the senior management's relentless effort to make the environment you worked in fun and exciting. I have never been in any other company where the company are so willing and so helpful in ensuring not just a fun physical place to work in, but also the culture and values in people. And, to top that off, they moved to a bigger, badder, and funner office for the employees' sake. I could go on in this tangent but you get the point. Office equipment is good. Expect to have a state of the art desktop with dual monitors at your disposal. Company doesn't give you a laptop, because they sincerely don't want you to work from home. If that is not the senior management cares about work life balance, I don't know what that is. Over the entire duration I'm there, I was not asked to work from home, or at odd hours a single time, even though I would be more than glad to offer my help, should the need ever arises. I even make sure I arrive in the company early, because I believe the company is worth my time. You get to learn a lot here because the people are friendly and they are helpful. The colleagues that you will have here, is not just your colleagues. They are YOUR family. If you have issues unrelated to work, your colleagues would come to the rescue. I can say so myself, because I experienced it myself first hand.

Cons

There are not much cons to speak of, except the fact that I believe in terms of salaries and compensation, it is not up to par if compare to other companies. It's the thing that nobody would want to talk about out of respect for the company but unfortunately, at least for my case, it seems to be the case. Please also understand that when it comes to salaries and compensation, your mileage may certainly vary. I'm very much saddened to leave the company for slightly better offers, but I looked back and saw the fun activities the company held from facebook and I shed my tears because I realised that the company has certainly continued to be fun even after I had left and that is evident if you are in the know.

Pros

- Salary and benefits - Good place to learn new tech

Cons

- Suffer a patronizing management who are stuck in the past, refusing to acknowledge their gaps - Retention bonus and notice period are too long - Inexperienced product development head makes it difficult for you if you are an engineer - you are always working with a moving target. - Although engineering wise is a very competent organisation right now, the drain of employees due to management's short-sight is frightening, and they refuse to acknowledge the situation.

Pros

Great co-workers and managers that are always friendly and helpful. They work hard in the office, yet are not afraid to have a laugh every now and then, or go out to lunch together. Really good leadership from managers who are genuinely liked and very respected.The company culture is one of the best things about this workplace. Great pay, flexible hours with travel opportunities and career progression. You are always given work that challenges you, but helps you grow and improve your skills.

Cons

Commute to and from work is a bit long and tedious, yet this is a personal one that I choose to put up with for all the pros.
