Pros
- Colleagues: most of the ones I interacted with on a daily basis were professional, skilled, friendly people.
Cons
- Blindly money-hunger, money-driven company with a very short term approach: let's make as much money as possible for as long as it lasts. Zero strategy, zero vision, zero planning. The mission statement is a concoction of buzzwords phrased into a very long sentence that was grammatically correct, but very shallow in terms of meaning. - Freelancers are milked like cows, project managers waste hours negotiating discounts of 0.5 cents per word with them, and they blatantly lie to them and promise lots of future assignments that would never happen. - Utterly incompetent managers who still believe that shouting and banging fists on the table is synonym with good management. I've never witnessed such a mix of cluelessness and arrogance. - Clients are considered like cows to milk as well, there is no actual care for quality assurance when delivering an assignment. - This approach causes frustration and those who stay simply stop caring because there is no other way to survive in such an unethical environment. It's a pity to see good people and valuable professionals being turned into hollowed out shells of what they used to be.
