Acquisition of companies were bad planned ZNODE specially."

"The pay is amazing, the hours are great too. However line of management is very weak, you get told to do something and then yelled at for doing it. My department is the worst department as we handle all the angry people, it wears on you. It is time for a change."

"Our manager decided to have meetings on Google Hangout on our iPads, this is basically face time as a group on your iPad. This was done to make sure we were paying attention to this daily meetings. While setting everything up on hangout, he told the two African American employees to "Open their eyes" and "Smile" "so that I can see you". When someone said that they could not believe he said that, he just laughed. Very racist manager. HR was notified and nothing was done and no apologies were made."
