Pros

Benefits package is attractive. Nice facilities. Some very skilled talent.

Cons

Internally consumed and thats the mainstay. Expectation is to work around the clock and the only time feedback is offered is when it's assumed that you've not delivered. Deteriorating quality of life due to unreasonable demands and expectation placed on some.

Pay was ok for just graduating. A lot of overtime was allowed and encouraged.

Weekends were about to become mandatory. Not much room for advancement. Management says one thing and does another.

Pros

Nothing positive with the exception that some of the colleagues were great people

Cons

Management is not supportive or professional. Lots of gossip and favouritism. Over-worked without recognition and OT. Poor salaries and incentive bonus'. A lot of false promises for promotions and personal growth. Management unaware of the operational responsibilities of the employees. A lot of structural changes without info and guidance. Poor morale, everyone keeps a low profile in order to not be laid off. Massive lay-offs for the last 5 years.
