Pros

* Great working experience with exposure to new technologies and languages. * Challenging tasks that made the work enjoyable and intellectually stimulating. * Highly intellectual colleagues, creating a great environment for collaboration and growth. * Opportunities for learning and upskilling in various domains.

Cons

* Poor work-life balance with employees often working late into the night due to tight deadlines. * Lack of clear leadership vision regarding the product's future, leading to uncertainty. * Overburdened staff due to employee shortages, requiring the output equivalent to multiple people. * No job security even after putting in 14-hour days; promotions and layoffs can happen unexpectedly, with little notice. * Despite positive feedback and high performance ratings, employees may still face abrupt layoffs. * Role assignments can be unpredictable; employees might join for one position (e.g., software engineer) and end up performing a different role (e.g., QA engineer) based on the company’s needs.
