Pros

Free food. It’s like they think pizza and stale donuts can make up for a soul crushing job.

Cons

management is a chaotic mess, making decisions like a toddler playing with a light switch— random and disastrous. the CEO? a walking disaster who’d rather admire their own reflection than lead. we churn out products so bad they make clipart from 1998 look cutting edge buggy pointless and rushed to meet delusional deadlines. Work life balance? non existence. they expect you to live at your desk, answering at 3 am. 24/7 work culture is their idea of joke. but the punchline is your burnout. no international exposure, just like a claustrophobic bubble of bad ideas. the free food is their only perk and it’s basically a bribe to keep you trapped in their safe little dystopia. Run don’t walk away from this dumpster fire.

Pros

- Complimentary food and drinks in the office - Some co-workers are working hard and friendly - Hybrid work that can work 2 days from home

Cons

- The company experienced hiring followed by layoffs, which raised concerns about workforce planning. - No severance package, career transition assistance, or visa support was provided following the layoff, which negatively impacted the perception of the company's employee culture. - There was a tendency to assign blame rather than focus on collaborative problem-solving.
