Pros

Benefits are adequate, and office facilities are nice.

Cons

Once a great place to work at, I have even considered it as close to a family as a workplace can be. It recently became toxic.

For almost a year, it had become a common practice to blame an employee for literally everything, disregarding any specific circumstances or common sense.

  • A third-party service had a problem on their side whilst you were integrating with them? Doesn't matter - it's your fault.
  • You have warned your manager about the consequences of certain actions, he insisted on it anyway, and things happened as you predicted? You guessed right - your fault.

And there is nobody to complain to: your boss is always right because he's the boss.

Eventually, such behavior led to a literal nervous breakdown with a very real psychiatric diagnosis.

It will take me months or even years to recover from such an experience. Stay away!

Advice to Management

Listen to your employees, and stop assuming you're always right.
