Pros

They have colorful walls and some nice sofas.

Cons

Very fast, cut-throat environment. Nobody wants to really help you.

My manager was an obsessive micromanager, putting unnecessary pressures on me and not appreciating my performance.

QA testing was old and trite. There were many written procedures, but no one there to explain them. The site is eCommerce with thousands of business rules, but the lead was not available and sometimes clueless about my questions.

Advice to Management

Lend a sympathetic ear to your subordinates. They are working hard.
