Pros

Some opportunities for career progression Fast-paced environment, you can learn to handle a lot of responsibility. The only positive part is flexibility and work-life balance.

Cons

Low compensation: despite promises, salary reviews never happened. After 5 years, inflation significantly reduced my real income, and management keeps saying their “hands are tied”. Weak management culture: local managers often blame “upper management” instead of taking ownership. Cost-cutting everywhere: when people leave, it usually takes 6–8 months before management approves a replacement. Meanwhile, the remaining team burns out under constant overload. Career growth without rewards: titles may change, but salary and recognition don’t follow. No real benefits compared to industry standards (fruit days and paid parking in a city center is not a benefit just FYI)

Pros

Paid Time Off is generous if allowed to use

Cons

Management is a disaster. Far too many Senior Managers that do not contribute but reduce total comp or headcount available for the real work. Talented, high-performing individuals leave in droves. Often when the company goes through the lay-off period, They terminate all the high earners in favor of hiring junior staff, who then leave very shortly. Very high attrition rate. HR is zero help, as should be expected. Failing tech with no valid improvements. Shrinking stock and market capitalization.
