Pros
  • Good salary, free drinks like coffee and soda in the office.
  • Some good projects to work on, depending on the team, group, or business units.
  • If money and salary matter more than work-life balance, it's a good place to stay if you can handle horrible treatment by managers and upper management.
Cons
  • Horrible management, manipulative managers and senior management.
  • Treats employees just like slaves and tries to push them to the limit of exhaustion.
  • Major drawback is serious and back-stabbing politics.
  • Senior co-workers and even managers take credit for the work underlings have done.
  • When it comes to promotion, politics, manipulation, and deception matter more than the quality of work. In short, if you are belligerent, deceptive, and manipulative, you have an edge.
Advice to Management

Treat your employees decently and with respect. Don't manage them like slaves.

Give them time to breathe instead of pushing them constantly to perform more and more.

Give credit to the employees for the work they have done instead of eating the whole pie yourself.
