Pros

Amount of responsibility given is quite good, and is satisfying. There is a lot of autonomy available if you can take it, and can show that you have the initiative to take things and make them work better.

Cons

Lack of respect by senior employees to junior ones. There is a lot of attitude around "I'm a VIP. Everybody else is here only to jump when I say jump". And the worse thing is that lot of jerks do get away with it. There is also a need to suck up to bosses, to have any hopes of making it bigger here.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
