Pros

Only positive was that the I worked directly at the client and I was a part of their teams

Cons

No bonus, lower than average salaries, no salary yearly review as only a very small percentage of employees can rank higher than average and can receive a salary raise, lower than average car and other policies. They force you to sign a (illegal in Belgium) non-compete clause so you in practice can’t apply for a similar job position at any competitor. I of course understand all businesses were affected by COVID-19, but this company forced an illegal salary reduction on their employees (again illegal in Belgium) without looking at the options given by the Belgian government (technical unemployment,...). They do not work ethically and do not care about their employees

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

Cons

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

Pros

Great team up to director level. Good place to start career, however not many open positions in US

Cons

Contracts are often unclear not including all needed services, leading to financial overburn. The company relies on multiple tracking systems, creating inefficiencies and frustrations for employees, and prioritizes hiring in low-cost regions, which are known for high employee turnover.
