Dumb project managers who don't have power at all. They will never support resources.They always polish manager's shoes and listen to what he says.

Pros

Good incentive if you meet the target

Cons

1. HR and manager checks how long you go to loop and lunch breaks. They ask you to have lunch in 20 minutes if you want to go to poo in the office. 2. Managers are worst of all. Very biased to his favors. And manager likes to ask employees to spy on each other instead of focusing at work 3. Too much politics. All entry level employees have to lock the phone in drawers while manager can fiddle with their phone all the time and chat with their families at work 4. No career growth.

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Toxic work environment: This company fosters a toxic culture where employees are constantly micromanaged and belittled by upper management. There is zero trust between employees and management, leading to a hostile and demoralizing atmosphere. Lack of transparency: Management operates in secrecy, making it impossible for employees to understand the direction of the company or the reasoning behind decisions. Poor work-life balance: Expect to work long hours with no recognition or compensation. Management doesn't value the personal lives of employees and often demands unrealistic deadlines. Incompetent leadership: Upper management is clueless about the industry and lacks the skills to effectively lead the company. Decisions are made based on favoritism rather than merit, leading to disastrous results. No career growth: There are no opportunities for advancement within the company. Promotions are handed out based on popularity rather than qualifications, leaving talented employees feeling undervalued and unappreciated. Low pay and benefits: The salary and benefits offered by this company are well below industry standards. Don't expect to be fairly compensated for your hard work and dedication. Overall, I would strongly advise against working for this company. Save yourself the headache and find employment elsewhere.
