Pros

- None worth mentioning here.

Cons

- The company has very few good clients, and even those projects lack long-term stability. Projects often shut down abruptly, and transitions are forced without clarity or support. - The leadership, especially the founder, creates a highly toxic work culture. Communication is frequently condescending and disrespectful. Attempting to advocate for yourself can be seen as insubordination and may lead to immediate termination without warning. - New hires are compelled to write positive Glassdoor reviews during onboarding, which gives a misleading impression of the actual work environment. - Micromanagement is rampant. There is little autonomy, and trust is not extended to the team. - Management lacks accountability. When goals are not met — often due to unrealistic timelines — the blame is shifted entirely to developers, even when leadership itself lacks clarity and planning. - There is no real recognition for hard work. Raises are negligible, and performance or dedication is rarely acknowledged. - Employees are overloaded with multiple responsibilities without support, resources, or direction. Leadership expects deliverables without empowering or guiding the team properly.
