Pros

Independent work allows you to develop technical skills — mainly to make your own job easier, since there is no real support from management

Cons

Lack of employee appreciation – skills are taken for granted. False promises of promotions and career growth. Frequent group layoffs, paired with "fake" internal support that leads nowhere. No feedback during internal recruitment processes. Management is unprofessional, inexperienced, and unable to lead effectively.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
