Management is very old school and they don't want to take responsibility when things go wrong. If there is a problem they will always look for someone at the bottom to blame instead of fixing the issue. They say they use Agile but it is just a lie. It is actually just Waterfall broken into weeks so they can micromanage you more. Everything is top-down and you have no say in anything. ​The environment is not professional or comfortable at all. The office is always freezing cold and the chairs are not ergonomic so your back will hurt. They are always trying to cut costs on basic things you need for work. If you want to study or get a certificate you usually have to pay for it yourself because they won't help unless it is 100% for the company's value only.
