Pros

Flexibility, work-life balance, and benefits are the main positives. There are also some genuinely good people in the company.

Cons

Pay is poor for the level of work expected, and there is a clear lack of ownership and accountability across parts of the business. People who avoid responsibility still seem to climb the ladder, which makes it feel less like a meritocracy and more like advancement depends on who you are connected to rather than your actual performance or knowledge. Favouritism and office politics appear to carry more weight than hard work or competence.
