Pros

Great remote and flexible work environment, allowing for a better work-life balance and the freedom to manage tasks efficiently.

Cons

Job Security Concerns – follows a hire-and-fire policy, making it an unstable workplace with no long-term security. Poor HR Support – The HR team is not employee-centric and lacks reliability. Instead of addressing concerns or finding solutions, they prioritize protecting the company’s reputation and are quick to terminate employees rather than resolving issues. Lack of Career Growth – Promotions, salary hikes, and overall growth opportunities are inconsistent and uncertain. Career progression is not structured, making it difficult to advance. Internal Politics – The workplace suffers from favoritism and office politics, which negatively impacts fairness and career development. Success often depends more on connections than on performance.
