Pros

Nice office Wfh otion available

Cons

This place is a graveyard for ambition. Senior leadership are fossils who’ve been here forever and clearly couldn’t survive anywhere else. They crush new, experienced talent to protect their egos. You’re not hired for your ideas — you’re hired to obey. Employees are treated like disposable slaves, and middle managers are just puppets parroting orders. The culture is arrogant, outdated, and downright hostile. Stay away unless you enjoy being micromanaged and silenced.
