There are too many cons:

1. Management does not understand the development process. They talk and talk and talk, then decide around 4 PM and ask developers to add those functions at the end of the day. Work hours finish at 5:30 PM, but of course, we have to work since they give us requirements around 4 PM.

2. Really bad development culture.

3. Also bad team culture. In my team, there were almost 10 people, and 7 or 8 people were from one family (family and family friends). I think HR failed to check their backgrounds. We had a 5+ year experienced guy who knew nothing and bothered people a lot, wasting our time with the simplest questions. I even talked with the Big Manager about this, and he actually defended those guys. That's why I left the company.

4. Salary raises are nonexistent, and salary is based on your connection with your manager, not your performance.

Please hire good HR.
