Pros

There is absolutely no pro about this company.

Cons

There is no clear onboarding procedure.

There were unclear expectations from day 1.

There are 12-16 hours of work almost everyday.

Managers and directors play politics and will throw you out if they feel like it.

Advice to Management
  1. Improve the onboarding procedure.

  2. Ensure performance expectations are clear.

  3. Provide regular feedback on work as and when necessary.

  4. Get rid of people playing politics - having a good culture is very necessary.

  5. Have proper documentation for internal tools and processes.
