Pros

Stocked kitchen and company trips

Cons

Every inch of the office is filled with bad political work culture. Nepotism at its best and whatever positive reviews you are reading they are pretty much written by HR and Recruitment encouraging their colleagues that are on their good books to write these positive reviews. Every bad review you are reading pretty much sums up Akuna.
