Pros

Better than no job, peers are nice.

Cons
  1. Very low salary.

  2. Repetitive and boring projects; you learn nothing.

  3. Performance reviews depend on business people who know nothing about coding.

  4. The engineering team frequently fired people based on performance issues. However, I saw a hard worker get fired while a lazy person did not. Therefore, I am curious about the engineering team's performance standards.

  5. Bad management, with managers who have little technical sense.

  6. The turnover rate is extremely high.

I am so happy to be leaving soon as I have found a new job with a salary nearly twice as high. I will not recommend this company to any friends in the engineering field.
