Pros

Cool office with friendly teammates. Flexibility to pick your in-office days.

Cons

Wholly unqualified team managers, constantly changing performance metrics, and lack of care/concern for employees' personal circumstances. Work/life balance is non-existent. Workload is unsustainable. Zero discussion of career growth/progression.
