Pros

The team was supportive, my mentor and team leader both helped me a lot in developing a better understanding of the market and making progress. They encouraged me to express my ideas, and I felt I really learned a lot working there.

Cons

The environment was a bit competitive and most people would stay in the office for a long time (>12 hours a day). You should really think about how to balance work and life.

Pros

Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

Cons

When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
