Pros

There were good and motivated people, the majority of whom have left the business in the past 18 months. Interesting challenges, good travel and opportunities to work within a diverse set of cultures.

Cons

Continual interference from the Founders causing distraction and effort being wasted. They treat so many of their staff with disdain and the management believes its staff are its slaves. Check your contract of employment as when management will all to frequently work to their interpretation of the contract rather than either the letter or a fair interpretation.

Pros

I am sure they are respectful but they need to watch out for who they hire.

Cons

I was not allowed to voice my opinion being off the record in a debate about shortening the legal session. The lawyer called "Joanna" said false things about me and exaggerated what I said which wasn't true at all. They said they will "blacklist" me without trying to hear from me or letting me defend myself. I was banned from their sessions and I didn't have any chance to clear my stance though I worked with them for several months before. They only listen to their employees even if they are wrong and they never advocate for those working for them. Putting ethics and fairness should be a priority while working with others. I was never treated like this by a company before and I felt so disappointed in such a level of discrimination and unfairness. Joanna's reaction was so aggressive and this led for terminating my contract without prior notice or defence!
