Pros

Colleagues are very friendly, and free lunch once a week.

Cons

There is no training, and the manager can be very aggressive if you can't finish the task in time. The bonus is not guaranteed, the manager can give 0 bonus even you work hard and tell you the bonus is not guaranteed. Also as far as I know, no one get salary increasement in first year. It is underpaid.

As to work life balance, the manager asked to come everyday even the company policy let you work from home 2 days a week. If you work from home, the manager will ask you why. There is no hope of promotion or salary increase. The salary will become less and less competitive because the technology stack is very poor and it is difficult to change jobs.

Advice to Management

Don't give manager too much power, and listen some feedback from employees.
