Pros

Working for these people will test your patience. You will waste your time here because things will never get better.

Cons

The work ambiance was toxic and hostile due to some arrogant, fake, and aggressive people who thought that they were running everything and things would be terrible without their support, it was ridiculous. Their negative attitude lowered the overall morale of employees and pushed them to quit. I was one of them. Avoid torture. Stay away!
