Pros
The income they pay is high.
Sick days are paid from day one.
Cons
- Expect 12+ hour days, typically 8 AM to midnight, far beyond the official Sunday-Thursday 9-18 schedule. No breaks on holidays, vacations, or sick days, with only Saturdays off.
- Unrealistic deadlines, with managers lying to workers about timelines and to customers about delivering on promises.
- No sprint planning, demos, or daily standups. No teamwork.
- QA is not involved in planning or processes, yet is expected to fully test incomplete features and poorly written documents within 2 days.
- Testing is done on production.
- Toxic work environment with false claims of work-life balance.
- Insufficient food on Tuesdays, with reminders to limit portions.
