Pros

used to be a good place when started with good leaders now nothing

Cons

The company operates in a deeply toxic and super frustrating environment where Performance-Based Management (PBM) is weaponized to push out employees rather than foster their growth. There’s no genuine effort to recognize or promote talent—decisions are made purely to serve the interests of top management, who show little to no concern for the overall development or well-being of their teams. Power and full authority are given to individuals who lack credibility, further exacerbating the issues. The environment is stifled by a lack of vision and is plagued by leaders who are neither honest nor competent. Instead of driving progress and innovation, leadership is more focused on maintaining control and suppressing any potential threats to their authority. It's incredibly sad that the HQ team remains oblivious to the mess, unable or unwilling to see the damage being done. Compensation is also dependent on your relationship with supervisor else nothing works.

Rather than using rigid, formulaic pay structures, we attempt to consider what an individual has contributed and reward them based on the long-term value they create. Thank you for leaving a review.

No raises. I've known people go 3 years without a raise or bonus. I've been here 2 years and nothing.
