Pros

Cannot comment because there are no pros to working here.

Cons

The experience with the Corporate Accounting department was quite challenging. The long working hours, especially during busy periods, required coming to the office on weekends, which made achieving work-life balance nearly impossible. Although they promised to compensate for working late, the process of requesting time off was quite painful and cumbersome. Micromanagement was prevalent, and it felt as if every task was under constant scrutiny, leaving little room for autonomy and creativity. Subordinates often faced mental and verbal abuse, which was demoralizing and created a hostile work environment. In addition, the manager's constant pestering for results every hour only added to the already stressful work environment. The relentless pressure to deliver instant updates and progress reports became overwhelming and hindered the team's ability to focus on their tasks effectively. The lack of consideration for personal time and family commitments was apparent, as they expected employees to plan their lives around work, even sacrificing weekends. The manager's constant loud eating and phone conversations in another language made it challenging to concentrate and work peacefully. In conclusion, the corporate accounting department's approach to management and work-life balance left much to be desired. The excessive working hours, micromanagement, and disregard for personal time were major downsides that affected the overall work experience. It is my hope that they can address these issues and create a more supportive and respectful work environment in the future.

Pros

Wonderful internship experience. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the internship, from the people and team culture to the meaningful projects and great location. It was an incredibly positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend working there.

Cons

While the business professional dress code may not be for everyone, I personally didn’t mind it and felt it contributed to the professional environment.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
