Pros

There aren't any positive things that come to mind.

Cons

Expectations were constantly changing and impossible to meet. The environment is draining, demoralizing, and stifles creativity. This is not a place for candidates seeking growth or opportunities to develop new skills. Leadership shows little interest in collaborating with their teams or supporting career development. It's also just a very boring place to work; this industry is incredibly risk adverse and that translates to their culture.
