Pros

Reputable company with a strong presence in the market. Opportunity to work with international colleagues and clients.

Cons

There is a deep-seated culture of "performative productivity". Working during holidays, late nights, and even while ill, is frequently romanticized. This creates an environment where setting healthy boundaries or maintaining a standard work-life balance feels discouraged.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
