Pros

-Reasonably good room for career growth - good exposure to big, high-budget projects - standard benefits package, nothing amazing but pretty normal

Cons

- toxic upper management - staff are blamed for things not in their control - junior staff are treated poorly, overworked and underpaid - very corporate. They pretend to care about the health, well being, and work-life balance of their employees but ask employees to work insanely long hours and overtime. - they threatened to fire me on numerous occasions when I stood up for myself and my legal rights - high turnover rate. - performance reviews, in my experience, were very unpleasant. They included humiliation, belittling, intimidation, and threats of termination. - when there is no work to do (during slow times) they have asked me to use my vacation/sick time - non-cooperative team environment. Its more like "every man for themselves" creating a feeling of competition and hostility - emphasis on perfection. I was criticized for even the smallest of mistakes, some were not even my fault.
