a lot of independence to be creative and innovative
Cons
not a lot of support, toxic culture that awards bros, no upward mobility except for the favored few regardless of individual successes and merits

The culture needs improvement, with a strict in-office policy that may not work well for everyone. There also seems to be ongoing challenges with employee retention, which can impact team morale, consistency, and long-term stability. The tech guild and unions made me feel really uncomfortable with coworkers protesting outside the office.
