Pros

Easily the best place to start off your career in MR domain. All the seniors are accessible easily, are generally very friendly, and with the right kind of attitude, this place really helps you learn a lot, both as an individual, and as a professional.

Cons

Work Life Balance: Easily the biggest con. Working late nights, instead of being an absolute last minute necessity, has become more of a routine. Bureaucracy: Quite often, the better performers don't necessarily get credit, promotion or raise commensurate with the performance. Almost routine to see the louder mouths, and the ones with better connections with higher ups, getting promotions & raises. Raises: Poor, by any stretch of imagination HR: Absolutely non existent

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
