Pros

It's a job, if you need one to not be homeless, I guess that's something. There are some great people who still work here. Stockholm syndrome I guess. They'll keep making great money, so the business is stable. It's just not shared with employees.

Cons

Horrible management from the Directors on up. Senior management is interested in squeezing people as hard as humanly possible and refuse to do anything to resolve it. Completely out of touch with the market and their employees. Unrealistic deadlines (expect 70+ hour weeks to be your normal pace, there's ALWAYS another deadline). Huge loss of long term employees as they leave the company coupled with poor documentation leaves it hard to transition knowledge. Pay is poor, even before the changes in the market over the last year. Benefits are poor. 3% 401k matching. You'll see *maybe* a 4% bonus a year and 3% raise if you're lucky, but someone has to get less than 3% for someone else to get more. There's no stock or long term incentives to stay. The company made record sales and profits in 2021, like nothing the company has ever seen, no bonuses or raises were given. None. All of the positive reviews you see were bought by the company. They've offered gift cards to employees for posting positive reviews. Basically if this is your only option other than dying, I guess you should work here, otherwise, don't.

Pros

The people who work here are excellent, sadly they have been grifted into working their buts off for people and managers that do not care about employees below management.

Cons

If you're an employee in any support role you are treated like the help. I have been threatened with termination from managers not in my department, I have been called out and put on the spot during meetings by managers and I have been openly admonished for refusing to use my personal devices for work. The level of disrespect and rudeness I have experienced here from management is bar none the absolute worst I have ever experienced. Management needs a complete overhaul at this company, the company ONLY works for the management, not the employees. The management culture is deeply divided, openly hostile and absolutely STEEPED in nepotism. It's shocking how many completely unqualified individuals we have in roles that cannot be under-filled. I have not received a raise in two years, nor have I been given any opportunity for additional training or advancement. I will be leaving this company, I don't want to. I do believe the CEO has the best interest of the company at heart and I do believe Rashid cares for and about the employees at all levels. But the fact remains that the middle management at this company treats employees under them with a rarified lack of compassion and respect that just cannot be tolerated if you have any self respect and value. Hence the mass exodus of employees from the technology department.
