Pros

- Good salary at industry level in Asia: the salary and benefits offered are competitive compared to most jobs offered locally - Great culture and work ethic but limited to Aarki only

Cons

- Senior management within Skillz shows signs of toxicity, with most of the business unit's former heads at Aarki, including its co-founder, departing over the course of 2022. - Aarki's concerns were mostly placed in the back burner since its acquisition in 2021: no clear communication on what they planned to do with us until the near end of 2022 - Mass layoffs are a reality within the tech industry, but it would've immensely helped to have at least a two week's notice especially when you're doing business in countries where at-will employment is not a cultural norm.

Pros

There are plenty of growth opportunities and the freedom to pitch new ideas. Managers maintain open communication, and the company offers free food, fun workplace activities, good benefits, and employee recognition programs. The people are great, an excellent networking environment.

Cons

The environment is very fast-paced, with a lot happening at once, so you need to be able to adapt quickly to constant changes.
