Pros

The CEO and company are generous enough to give adequate compensation.

Cons

Poor management skills and technical capabilities in customer support. Support Managers are not technical but pretend to know everything. They can only manage junior engineers who are from integration and testing backgrounds. There's a lack of full understanding of data flow to solve problems. The credit for easy fixes is taken, and difficult ones are thrown to those who are actually to blame. Many of the fixes for customers only cover the surface. No one is able and willing to solve the root problem.

Advice to Management

Management has never learned the lesson to be humble to improve management. The review is not fair and disadvantageous to new employees. The quality of the work and delivery is questionable.
