Pros

-Few colleagues who are genuinely supportive.

Cons

-Toxic work environment with a lot of internal politics and unprofessionalism. -Different rules for CEO's favorites especially regarding remote work. - Zero work life balance. -Upper management will expect and sometime even order you to work till late hours without proper compensation for it. -Limited career growth opportunities since whoever you will be reporting will have limited knowledge about their work. -Pay is way below for industry standards as well as the amount of work you will put in.

Pros

This is not a place where you sit through weeks of boring shadowing. They throw you into the actual work from the start, and it’s the best way to learn. I look at my friends in other companies who are still doing training sessions or doing the same job everyday for long time, while I am actually delivering and learning

Cons

They keep underperformers on for months, moving them from one team to another to find a fit that just doesn't exist. It’s frustrating for the rest of us who have to pick up the slack.
When these people finally leave, they’re bitter because they didn't develop any skills. They end up trashing the company online even though the company gave them way more chances than they deserved. It's a waste of everyone's time.
