Pros

Can't think of any. n/a.

Cons

- Most employees work there are temps and trying to get by every day. - Company is way behind in works so much when I first joined, after almost half year, when I leave, they are still behind, Amazing. - No body knows who is doing what, Managements don't care. - Some employees are really bad, no respects for each other. company keeps hiring unqualified temps. - Company doesn't care about their customers, and employees. Overall, strongly not recommend, never try to hire temps to perm no matter how hard you work, how well you perform. Management really like employees who try to kiss up.

Pros

start up, many opportunities present

Cons

very cheap unfortunately and not only regarding salaries but all employee related aspects(next to no benefits, do not pay overtime even if it is "mandatory"). on the other hand they throw money away to 3rd party project management companies. very keen on having a good image while their employees are 90% unsatisfied and looking for jobs.

Pros

Difficult to find any reasons to work for this company.

Cons

The education level, languages and any other credentials does not matter. What counts is the relationships you have within the company to be promoted. The managers are not focused on their employees development, they are focused on retention of their own position. Very often the only way to be promoted is to know somebody else on the top level. Unfortunately.
