Pros

Good team, with talented technical people.

Cons

Unrealistic targets so no one reaches their target and gets paid more! No clear direction, just testing random things to see which one works. No growth opportunity. No work/life balance, they intentionally organize calls and meetings outside employees working hours.

Cons
