Pros

- A lot of diverse projects to work on - Good perks and benefits for employees

Cons

Promotions are based solely on how long someone has been at the company, with no consideration for leadership skills or actual performance. This results in micromanagement, poor team environments, bad decisions, and constant employee turnover. Upper management holds outdated views — they still think remote work is bad. While they claim to offer a hybrid model, it comes with excessive restrictions. Missing an in-office day for any reason can lead to penalties, and accumulating several can even put your job at risk. Workload is excessive, and there’s absolutely no work-life balance, despite the company constantly promoting it as one of their “core values.” Employees are expected to handle unrealistic deadlines and frequent emergencies outside of normal working hours. Job stability is low — I witnessed multiple rounds of layoffs during my time there. Compensation is well below market standards, raises are minimal, and promotions are rare. Only when you hand in a resignation letter do they start making an effort to retain you.

Pros

Zero Ghosting: Communication was super consistent and clear from start to finish. I was never left wondering. Flexible & Open: The hiring managers were genuinely open to discussing the scope of the role, rather than just handing down a rigid checklist of duties. They Stuck to the Timeline: They verbalized exactly how long the process would take and followed through perfectly. No unexpected delays or moving goalposts.

Cons

Missed the In-Person Connection: While the remote process was smooth, I would have loved the opportunity to meet some of the team in person before finalizing everything. Needed More Day-to-Day Specifics: The big-picture conversations about the role were great, but I could have used a bit more clarity and specific detail around what the actual daily routine and tasks look like.
