Pros

The people. The diverse workforce. That's the only thing that keeps you going.

Cons

I don't even know where to actually start. Hired a team, didn't have anything prepared (equipment, table, computers). Manager got fired on the third day, moved us to another department, that manager has no idea what to do with us. Wasted an entire week before we were given any project at all. Started on the project, two weeks later, we were let go and asked to scrap the project right before it was done. Hired people to do a job they then claim they didn't require it a month later. High employee turnover - people getting fired and hired weekly. Expanding too fast to handle. CEO is a nice person to drink with, maybe, but makes hasty decisions when angry and incredibly inappropriate to scream in front of employees. Brings down motivation. One office gets more perks and preference over the other - like free lunch. Promised perks then taken away simply because "it wasn't in the contract". Initially promised to reimburse expenses (including those covered in contract), after letting us go, they refuse to cover it. (If you're willing to cover it, let me know who I can message). THEY DO NOT HAVE HR. No matter what they claim, they do not have someone an employee can go to and discuss their issues except of their manager or the deputy CEO (who probably is going to be busy)

Pros

Good salary (but money is NOT everything, mind it) Free lunch everyday (when you are mentally unstable you cannot even digest food properly, mind it!) You will get the complete freedom to use "F" word frequently. You will listen it all the time as well from the two big bosses (two brothers)

Cons

Poor management. They do not have much experience to run a company. Management means shouting and yelling to them. You will be humiliated for any mistakes you make and also your contribution to the company won't be valued. If you work in the IT department, things will get worst if you mess up their database or anything in the production. There are a few developers and freelancers there whom they admire, rests are like tissue paper to them, can throw them away to the bin after using. Crazy environment and normal persons cannot work here. You will be complete crazy after working for a certain period of time. This company is run by two brothers and they are quite famous for scamming in their own country. These hysteric and arrogant brothers will give you a hard time. Do not waste your time here. There are also office politics and grouping, backstabbing which make this company very "South Asian" rather than being "European".
