Management thinks money can solve all problems
Software Engineer • Former Employee
August 14, 2020
Pros: Pay is high, some good apples among the sea of bad ones.
Cons: These guys will exploit you like crazy. Not just during working hours, but also if you don't make them happy, they'll find every corner of your contract to cut you out.
The culture is representative of this huffing and puffing, grudge-holding attitude. If you're coming from tech, you won't like it here unless you're a senior executive who wants to do the huffing and puffing.
