Pros

Good work-life balance, friendly people

Cons

The company undergoes frequent reorganizations, creating ongoing uncertainty about roles and long-term job security. Layoffs occur regularly, yet significant resources continue to be invested in projects such as office renovations, including spaces that have already been recently updated. This creates a disconnect between the company's cost-cutting measures and its spending priorities. Additionally, leadership often appears reactive rather than strategic, making it difficult for employees to feel confident about the company's direction and their future within it.

Cons

- Salaries are low. Only a few get a fair market rate or an above market rate - They have some unethical practices that suppress people's ability to get a good raise - Not a great place for career growth, unless you get very lucky - There's never money for everyone, but C level always get paid out regardless of company performance
