Pros

Work from home: Remote work is available, which provides some flexibility. A lot of vacation days: Generous vacation allowance compared to industry standards.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations: Rushed deadlines, last-minute pressure, and poor planning. Lack of accountability: Blame-shifting, mismanagement, and no ownership of issues. Toxic culture: Constant reversals in decision-making and disregard for employee feedback. Overwork and burnout: Excessive workload, lack of support, and no work-life balance. Frequent layoffs: Even high-rated employees are let go without warning, with jobs outsourced. Decline in company culture: Leadership has dismantled the once-close-knit community. Empty corporate values: Employee well-being exists only on paper, with no real support.
