Pros

The company tries to provide perks for employees to feel good, such as free breakfast (cereal), coffee, and occasional free fruits. If this is all you are looking for in a company, you may like this environment. However, if compensation and recognition are all you seek, look elsewhere because you may likely be disappointed.

Cons

Long hauling hours, hard to balance family and life.

Huge favoritism when it comes to talent recognition and acceptance.

Communication from "managers" to those they manage is a nightmare – non-existent and very negative.

Your growth and development is slim to none, depending on your department.

Wouldn't recommend to a friend who's growth hungry.

Advice to Management

If you can't manage people, consider stepping down or get help.

Look within and create opportunities for your employees.

Professional development opportunities are not encouraged or created.

Performance reviews and promotion opportunities are very biased and often times non-existent.

Consider bridging all departmental gaps and create world-class opportunities from within.
