Pros

Subsidised travel and food to the office each day, but that's hardly a "pro" as most start-ups offer as such.

Cons

The sales department here? Think revolving door, but less glamorous and more 'where did everyone go?' The constant exit parade might make you a tad nervous if you're in sales. Nepotism isn't just a rumour; it's practically the company mascot, especially at HQ. It's like senior roles are handed out in a family raffle, and the lack of experience in management shines through, mostly in how they 'manage' and 'develop' careers (spoiler: air quotes are necessary). Anything a recruiter tells you should be taken with a boulder of salt, not just a pinch. They'll paint a picture of you swimming in cash, then leave you stranded if the tide doesn't immediately turn in your favour. And HR? They offer the classic 'open door' policy: ' Your private concerns will become public knowledge faster than office gossip.' Honestly, skip the tea leaves and Google them. The whispers from past and present employees should give you a pretty straightforward 'do not enter' sign.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
