Pros

- Convenient office location - Modern workspace - Free lunch, snacks, and drinks

Cons

- Terrible work-life balance with no overtime pay. Working long hours is the norm here (at least for programmers) - Inefficient management. Expect to throw your work out of the window if the CEO or someone else from upper management comes up with a brand new idea out of the blue. Deadlines are unreasonable, especially because the focus keeps changing all the time - No teamwork. Teams compete against each other all the time. Back-end and front-end often argue about who's at fault if something goes wrong, or who's gonna do the less amount of work to achieve a goal. Some people are rude. - Poor employee retention. People eventually get tired of being mistreated and leave. Most of the original team left within two years of working here. p

Pros

My coworkers in my team were all super friendly and chill, very willing to help each other out.

Cons

Besides the people in my team, I don't really get to talk to anyone else. During meetings, it feels like you don't really have a voice because it gets overshadowed. There wasn't really an HR department, only a fiance, so it's a bit of a mess. When voicing problems to " HR" we'll have to keep bugging them repeatedly until we get any reply. No matter what work we did, during company meetings, they would never get recognized, we kind of get pushed to the back seat. Even the head of my team doesn't get much of an opportunity to talk.
