Business Outlook

Pros

All the pros about this company left when the previous US leadership left the company. The current US leadership is on a path to eliminate as many positions as possible. The previous leadership that left focused on engineering, product development and customer relationship, the current leadership is focusing on saving the company money by cutting as much as possible.

Cons

Prepare to work overtime about 6-8 months. This company has a culture of passive-aggressively push for employees to work overtime. If you dont work overtime you will be noted and singled out during daily stand up, and it will go under your performance.
