Pros

Free lunch and office

Cons

I thought this company was really promising when I first started, but the more time that went on the more dysfunctional it became and the more the lack of communication became a serious issue. They play favorites and promote the people who they like over people who are qualified for the job. Senior management is the worst I have ever experienced.

Pros

Nice office environment with free food and drinks available. The gym and company perks are a nice bonus. There are also some genuinely good people on the team who make the workplace more enjoyable.

Cons

Management can feel overly political, and some managers appear to give more attention and opportunities to favorites rather than treating employees consistently. While the company talks about supporting mental health, the day-to-day culture does not always reflect that message. There is also growing uncertainty about long-term job stability as AI becomes more integrated into the work.
