Pros
Flexible work arrangement and exposure.
Cons
This company really lacks proper training for different departments. The biggest problem is that Sales and governance often promote the team as highly experienced and certified, but the reality is far from it. That’s a major red flag because the team is left powerless, scrambling to perform with no proper support. I’ve seen new hires get thrown into projects almost immediately, which just adds to the chaos. With the current economic situation in the States, there’s a constant churn of clients. Employees are regularly forced to leave churned projects and jump straight into new ones with little to no preparation. This creates serious issues for certain departments, where we have to pick up new tools for each project without proper guidance. By the time we start getting the hang of things, the project is churned. It makes me wonder, “What’s the point of working so hard when nothing substantial gets done?” Team dynamics is another big issue. If you’re lucky, you’ll have governance that actually manages the team, but with so many employees and projects, you could find yourself in all kinds of team situations. The lack of standardized processes and SOPs, even when it’s clear they’re needed, is really concerning. There’s also a low barrier to entry. I’ve seen new hires come in who are underqualified for the role, and this just puts more pressure on experienced colleagues to carry the workload. When these concerns are brought up, they’re usually brushed aside, which is unfair to everyone involved. Management could be dismissive as well. Everyone is well aware of the salary discrepancy between new joiners and existing staff. We were told to wait. Some existing experienced staff can be severely underpaid. There's a reason why so many talented employees are leaving.
