Vantaggi

Svantaggi
Very dishonest management. Incredibly petty and cheap. Makes promises upon hiring you that they never follow through on. They disrespect their employees and will take credit for deals brought in by others. They give no credit for the hard work of their team beneath them. They pocket all the money and share none with the staff. They keep everyone in the dark about the finances and investors. Everything is shady. Everything is opaque. They routinely screw over the companies that take their debt. They want employees to shut up, don't ask too many questions, keep their heads down, and take what's given in terms of comp. Those who've gotten tired of being abused and underpaid for their contributions and actually spoken up and asked for raises, etc have been routinely fired.
