Pros

Good place for beginners and lunatics

Cons

No job stability, Misers and jokers are sitting at the top and this is virtually a family business of its founder as even his dog gets a slice of a good senior rank at this funny place, For others this guy applies hire and fire policy, Buy your own food - company won't give you any, relocate at your own expense - company won't do anything, this is a family business of David Darling and you will see all his family members as part of the management, overall a pathetic place and culture smacks of a small time shop selling groceries, David Darling's dictatorial approach and schemy nature is quite evident in all his decision making...

Pros

> Transitioning from a servicebased organization to a product based company has been a great experience overall. The work culture, team vibe, and working conditions are among the best I’ve experienced so far. > The workflow is well-structured, and I get to learn a lot through hands on experience, which has been very valuable for my growth. > Career progression here feels merit based and driven by individual competency rather than being dependent on year end cycles, which is highly motivating. > The workplace environment is supportive and engaging, making day-to-day work enjoyable. > The availability of snacks and drinks is a thoughtful perk that I hadn’t experienced in previous companies, it helps maintain energy levels and reduces time spent stepping out, improving productivity.

Cons

Given the relatively small team size, there can occasionally be periods of increased workload or crunch, but it is generally manageable and balanced out over time.

Increment and overall salary growth do not currently meet industry standards, which can be a concern for long-term financial progress.
