Pros

Great colleagues always ready to give you a hand no matter how busy they are.

Cons

- Workbalance is non-existent, you will work more than what you expect or what they make you believe (sometime you won't even be able to rest or sleep while travelling). - The executive team will promote communication but they honestly don't care about your opinion unless you're part of the favorite employees (and still...). - The CEO is inconstant, no control of his behavior. He gives false statements and lies to his employees. He has no consideration for Project Managers, he treat them like ants "work until you quit and we'll find someone else to replace you". - You will be hold accountable for any failures or mistakes in the project development. Hust bare in mind that the company doesn't care about how many times you went beyond the clients' expectations, they will always remind you what went wrong.

Pros

Decent pay I would say

Cons

Unsustainable Workload & Non-Existent Work-Life Balance: "Heavy workloads and long hours are expected regularly" is an understatement. As a customer support employee, you're constantly fighting fires, often for a product that feels "under developed" or "requires a PhD to be used properly". I frequently worked late nights and weekends, with little to no break during "busy seasons" (which felt like all the time). The company seems to have a "churn and burn" mentality with employees, operating under the impression that we won't stay more than a year or two anyway. Lack of Management Support & High Turnover: There is no proper HR department to address employee concerns, and management is often described as "old-school and controlling". If you complain about being overwhelmed, you're likely to be "labeled as unable to handle the pressure and next in line for termination". The high turnover rate means you're constantly picking up the slack from those who have left, creating a vicious cycle of burnout. Poor Internal Communication & "Culture of Fear": Communication between departments is terrible, with "department silos" creating a "blame game" when things go wrong. The CEO's management style fosters a "culture of fear," with some employees even mentioning "micro-managing and mental abuse" as a day-to-day occurrence. This creates an extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional office environment. Product Issues: Supporting a product that isn't fully tested or user-friendly is incredibly frustrating. We often had to rely on "crappy workarounds" to help clients, which made the support process much harder than it needed to be.
