      Pros

      * Delicious, healthy, free food. Almost too good to be true. * Good salary growth. * Young, energetic co-workers.

      Cons

      * Managers who aren't interested in people skills. * Toxic, competitive culture. * Long hours, because of competitive culture, and projects are understaffed * Low job security, because management often fire people, leading to understaffed projects. * Poor opportunities for women. Management stated that "addressing gender equity in hiring is not a priority". * An employee rubbed faeces on the bathroom wall.
