Pros

Some talented and supportive individuals make the experience tolerable, though they don’t get the recognition they deserve.

Cons

The company struggles with a toxic culture where fitting in often depends on superficial traits rather than merit. Claims of diversity and inclusion don’t reflect the reality. The technology stack is outdated, and the company’s stated values often conflict with its actual practices. Management lacks clear direction, leaving employees overworked and under-supported, especially given rapid growth. Compensation does not align with the workload and expectations. The work environment is highly political, and trust among colleagues can be low.
