The posh looking company that doesn't pay well

Business outlook

Pros

- Brilliant engineering team, you can learn from the best - Very friendly colleagues - Great office, some good perks

Cons

- Terrible CEO (who openly says people to look for other jobs if they don't like their salary) - Cutthroat product managers - Extreme work pressure, emphasis on delivery not on quality - Very low salary (compared to some of the top notch freelance companies, sadly the employees don't even know their worth) - HR focused on looking posh, rather than looking after employees (for example, you are given old monitors with terrible blue lights and would be taken to an expensive hotel for a company retreat)
