Pros

Lots of friendly, experienced and great engineers work there.

Cons

After about 6 months of joining new management came in and pushed out a bunch of great managers and engineers. One bad apple at the top can completely change the company culture.

Pros

Pros: • Honestly, very few. You might get paid eventually. • Some coworkers are decent people — too bad most don’t stick around.

Cons

Cons: • They don’t pay on time. Ever. You’ll spend more time chasing your paycheck than doing your actual job. Expect delays, excuses, and complete silence when you ask about your money. • Leadership is a joke. The people running this place have no idea what they’re doing. Decisions are made based on ego, not logic, and they treat employees like disposable tools. • Toxic environment. Petty office politics, zero accountability, and constant blame-shifting. Don’t expect respect, honesty, or professionalism — it doesn’t exist here. • No structure, no strategy, no future. Everything is reactive. Plans change daily. You’ll be asked to fix problems caused by upper management’s incompetence, only to be blamed when things go wrong. • HR is useless. If you report a problem, it either gets ignored or you get labeled “difficult.” • High turnover and zero morale. People quit weekly. It’s a revolving door of burned-out employees and broken promises. • Micromanagement and chaos. You’ll be overworked, underpaid, and under constant stress — all for a company that doesn’t care if you burn out.
