Vantaggi
No pros make this company stand out from any other employer. You get paid, you get benefits, that's it. The only people with a positive experience are developers, who are usually young men happy to get their foot in the door, and some of the best paid employees.
Svantaggi
Company caters to niche market with lots of competition and limited demand. Very small customer base that's unlikely to grow. Company gets new business by chronically underbiding. Pay is well below market rate for comparable jobs requiring similar experience and credentials, so company is unable to attract quality employees. Pay increases are negligible and likely to freeze short-term. Employees ultimately pay for the chronic underbiding. There's a strong reliance on hiring immigrants willing to work for sub-market pay, which reeks of exploitation. Grossly underperforming employees are never held accountable or counseled. There are employees who do very little actual work, yet retain their jobs for years. Employees who actually care pick up the slack with no compensation or recognition. Open positions stay unfilled, so current employees face unrealistic demands to meet deliverables. Overall, morale is very low. People stay only because they are afraid to, or don't know how to, explore other opportunities. Company pursues contracts it doesn't have the experience or personnel to support, has poor understanding of the services it's supposed to provide and the industry it serves. Company floundering with current contracts, and in weak financial position. Long-term prospects are not good. No room for career growth. Most positions are task-specific with no opportunities to learn new skills. HR is extremely dismissive of employees who work offsite (including in the same building but on a different floor) and does not regard them as "real" employees of the company. HR doesn't seem to understand the local labor market, or the skills needed for specific positions. Supervisors are expected to find people to fill open positions with little help from HR.
