Vantaggi

- Colleagues: most of the ones I interacted with on a daily basis were professional, skilled, friendly people.

Svantaggi

- Blindly money-hunger, money-driven company with a very short term approach: let's make as much money as possible for as long as it lasts. Zero strategy, zero vision, zero planning. The mission statement is a concoction of buzzwords phrased into a very long sentence that was grammatically correct, but very shallow in terms of meaning. - Freelancers are milked like cows, project managers waste hours negotiating discounts of 0.5 cents per word with them, and they blatantly lie to them and promise lots of future assignments that would never happen. - Utterly incompetent managers who still believe that shouting and banging fists on the table is synonym with good management. I've never witnessed such a mix of cluelessness and arrogance. - Clients are considered like cows to milk as well, there is no actual care for quality assurance when delivering an assignment. - This approach causes frustration and those who stay simply stop caring because there is no other way to survive in such an unethical environment. It's a pity to see good people and valuable professionals being turned into hollowed out shells of what they used to be.

Vantaggi

Stable job even in a turbulent economy. Quarterly bonuses available after training period completion. Easy to work off college debt if you can withstand the pressure.

Svantaggi

White collar staff leaning has lead to massive brain-drain of senior staff, especially US domestic staff; most replacement staff are entry level remote employees in 3rd world countries to artificially deflate hourly rates--PMs are NOT salaried. It is an uphill battle to hire domestically if at all. "Remote" work was a privilege everyone had to fight tooth and nail for individually until the pandemic hit. The COVID precautions taken in the physical office were inadequate. New hire trainees were forced to work in the office every day despite the pandemic--all 6 of them came down with COVID-19 near simultaneously in the second month of their training period. Immediate supervisors are too overloaded with piloting a sinking ship to help you. Promotions are given late. Raises are usually 1/3 of whatever you negotiate. Inter-departmental communication is a extremely lacking at best, outright dysfunctional at worst. Vendor Management has a long track record of questionable competence and professionalism. Upper management has no long-term plan beyond extinguishing the most immediate fires. Sales continues to undersell miracles and run off with the commission money, regardless of whether production can actually fulfill whatever fantasy the client was sold, without punishment. US residents interested in this company would have a better experience in R&D technology, administration, sales or client services.
