Pros

Work/life balance (kinda). Lots of events/parties for employees. Some perks provided.

Cons

Heavy toll on mental health. Each team/department translated the “Principles” and their application differently. Focus is radically negative; HEAVY emphasis and expectations placed on [publicly] submitting far more negative grades, comments, and ratings about your coworkers & other employees than positive ones. In my department/team, there were ramifications for submission percentages being more “positive” than “negative”.
