Pros

I wish I could name one

Cons

-low salary: their business model is to hire junior employees, train them, ask them to sign a commitment letter which means nothing legally and then do low quality work. Also, force the employees not to talk about their salaries. - Lack of proper communication across a team and there is no uniform way to run projects. Depending on the sponsor/PM you need to adjust the company expectations from your responsibilities -High turnover as the company has zero respect for their people. Whoever you talk to is unhappy and is in a mental breakdown period or has been. - Managers play favouritism game when it comes to promotion. - Projects are usually low quality with small and inexperienced sponsors. - Training used to be better but now it’s just repetitive sessions with nonsense questions and polls - Due to high turnover projects are handed over from one employee to another and no one knows what’s been going on.
