Cons

They treat employees like goats here. Unless you are just coming out of college, just don't join here.

Pay is terrible.

Long work hours, sometimes 60-70 hours a week with no extra pay.

No standard work hours. You sometimes need to give an explanation why you cannot work from 7 am to 8 pm. Which company in the world makes 12-13 hour working days mandatory?

Advice to Management

Pay better and treat employees like humans.
