Pros

Huge Office Building, Nice Front Garden, Huge parking space.Other than that, I honestly struggle to find many positive aspects about my time here. However, the exposure to multiple technologies (Python, Node.js, React.js, and Next.js) did help expand my skill set, but at a huge personal cost.

Cons

**Poor Infrastructure** : As a software engineer, I was provided with a substandard laptop that slowed down my work significantly. The lack of basic tools like Jira or Git further complicated project management and collaboration. **Unsupportive Colleagues** : The team consisted mainly of junior developers who were not capable of handling their roles. This led to me managing multiple technologies simultaneously without any support, which was both overwhelming and frustrating. **Excessive Workload** : I was forced to work across four different technologies at once, with frequent overtime and overnight shifts. This included being assigned work on public holidays without any compensation time off. **Toxic Work Environment** : The work environment was mentally exhausting. The management’s disregard for work-life balance, combined with constant pressure and unrealistic expectations, led to a toxic and stressful atmosphere.

Pros

Mostly good people to work with. A couple bad apples. Flexible work schedule and accommodating when possible.

Cons

This is not a long term employer. No such thing as a direct hire full time employee. It is a contract company and when a contract is complete, so is your paycheck and/or job. True from junior employees up through executive staff. If you don't have billable hours to a contract, beware of the furlough/layoff. Very high turnover of employees. The bottom line will always win.
