Pros

There are some good people around

Cons

Where should I start! They hire young inexperienced people because they want to save money, and the company is way understaffed. Because the staff is spread everywhere around the world and many are contractors and part-timers, good luck in getting everyone together or getting things done. HR you can't get anything from these people "NULL, ZERO, NADA". Senior Management, chaos! you can't understand what is the strategy or the direction. it's like let's try everything and spread thin everywhere. the only obvious strategy is to sell as many projects as possible despite the capabilities and operations readiness at the expense of the client and delivery staff. The operation team need an overhaul, from the tip-top and roll down

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
