Pros

Great environment, well organized, nice offices.

The company values and organization are great, of course, if you're looking from the outside. From the inside, it's a different thing.

Cons

The tuition program is a bluff. You have to pay for your entire education and then you can start to ask for reimbursement.

This is the main reason I've changed companies, and I feel I've wasted my time.

The main problem with the tuition program is that the salary is not much, and I can't afford to pay for college fees and wait for them to recognize my expenses.

In addition, at least in my position, they've called me day and night, 24/7, without thinking that I'm not a 24/7 employee. My managers don't care about my free time, sleep hours, or at least the minimum rest time. It reminded me of some IBM cases...

Advice to Management

Please, start to think about the mental health of your employees. We are not slaves.
