Pros
Fast-paced environment No micro-management You have your own decision-making power in your domain Fun people and team Benefits are improving to match with other techs Flexible working environment (you can start & take off whenever you want as long as you get your work done)
Cons
1. Pay is not competitive at all. They particularly lowball people coming from non-tech. As a result, big attrition, everyone wants to leave for a better pay and benefits. Note to HR: We know that you guys are lowballing us. If you want everyone to leave the company in less than a year, keep doing that. 2. Weak management & leadership. They want to mass hire people for the sake of expanding the team, without thinking whether the headcount is necessary. They think that more headcount will result in more work output. They're not addressing the root cause. All these incompetent people will be fired when the company goes IPO for redundancy. 3. So many incapable people Many people are not qualified for their role, period. They don't know what they're doing and their communication skill is zero. Very rude but they think that they're doing their job well. Don't thinks their managers are giving 'candid' feedback to them. 4. Bad culture Everyone is so competitive. They want to show their work to leadership and reply them first. I think it's partly the fault of the company's Bytestyles. Aim for the highest? You've gotta step onto someone's head to be the mightiest and highest of all. 4. The company holds you back until the last moment. Resignation process is messy. They don't pay your final salary by the day they said they would. They hold your pay as long as they want as if they hold grudges against you for leaving the company. 5. No transparency in career opportunities Some people get promoted even before probation because they are favored by certain leaders. It's arbitrary and biased. No clear paths for progression either.
