Pros

I don't have anything nice to say about them as it was really disappointing to get kicked despite a decade of loyalty and hard work .

Cons

Nepotism and Bullying is encouraged. They constantly struggle to retain good staff due to poor people's skills and lousy remuneration. They have too many overheads (managers) who are well protected even at tough times. They have cut throat attitude towards their good workers and will get rid of you in a heart beat, no matter how long you have worked for them. Unrealistic and impractical promises are made to the clients by incompetent upper management idiots and when those promises are broken they get rid off hard working staff who actually make money for the company. 10 years of loyal service and no thanks from the management, instead got kicked. In these tough times they can afford to keep highly paid good for nothing managers but won't dare to retain hardworking, poorly paid good staff. Truly disgusting!

Your feedback is disappointing. We expect all our people to behave in line with our core values and that they are reflected in the way we operate. Unfortunately, like many companies, we have had to let people go as the industry sectors in which we operate become more challenging. They are not decisions taken lightly. Nor do they diminish our appreciation of the hard work of all our people.

Pros

I had the pleasure of working with intelligent, committed, and personable colleagues. This office offers perks such as free weekly lunches when business is strong, and is conveniently located near several restaurants. Company often hires direct, and management seems reasonably dedicated in preserving the existing work force during industry downturns. Management overall treats employees respectfully and encourages open communication. Company additionally offers a flexible 9/80 option.

Cons

The salaries and benefits are relatively average. Management may hire quickly during strong but usually brief economic periods, resulting in a surplus of employees to compete for work in the coming months. Overall lack of project diversity and structure can leave employees vulnerable to layoffs during extended slow periods, and the perks tend to vanish. Technical assistance tends to be significantly limited from lack of experienced personnel. No clear path up the corporate ladder is defined.
