Lot of friendly and helpful colleagues.
Cons: They throw you in the deep end and won’t even lend a hand to help you swim.
They won’t give you any feedback when you try to set expectations.
They will let folks move countries for jobs and just fire people because of it, with no warning and no guidance. They are just dropped like a bad habit.
