Pros

- Projects are good and interesting. - Good learning to get versatile over multiple skills

Cons

- No work life balance. - Unrealistic deadlines set for the targets which pressures the resources to work day and night as well as on weekends without compensation. - Poor work culture. - Improper leadership - Inexperienced Managers/Leads Who are not able to handle the team hence they pressurize the whole team. Positions are just filled internally without checking proper eligibility for the designation. - No time for any additional exploration since we run after deadline every single day. - Not great salary compensation or hikes or promotion compared with other product companies. - More preference given to clients/customers feedback rather than working employees.

Pros

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* None. Used to be a great place to work. I enjoyed the work I did and the various teams I worked with.

Cons

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* -Health benefits have gotten worse each year. -Constant layoffs. -Changed from an 8 hour 3 shift day, 5 days a week to a 10 hour 2 shift day, 4 days out of the week. The idea was to save money on overtime, then they started asking the employees to stay the 4 hours between shifts. Then they started asking the employees to work the extra 3 days. Then they made the employees sign a waiver, making the 3 days mandatory when needed. -Flat raises, everyone gets the same raise. -Lower management no longer cares -Upper management is too focused on vanity projects or no longer cares
