Pros

I got an amazing hike with great stay at hotel as I moved from different city. Work life balance is great.

Cons

Less work. At times no work at all. Lots of politics and no work fuels that politics ! Some folks are here for long and won't share information which is essential to a new joinee & really pathetic means to make sure you leave quick ! Bad work environment !! HR is worst. NO salary discussion occurred and I was simply given the offer letter. Onboarding was delayed multiple times.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
