Pros

Very comfortable office, good food, nice bonuses and locally initiated activities at the office (I loved frequenting life drawing sessions a lot)

Cons

I was laid off after 1 year of work at the company. Constant growth-review meetings which occurred once per 2 weeks were very annoying, to be honest, and ended up for nothing considering the layoff. The company chose to notify me about the latter a month prior to my end date, choosing the safest option for itself (not notifying an employee earlier so it wouldn't have to pay additional compensation to the employee). All in all, even with attractive "packaging", the experience at the company left the impression that it doesn't really care about its people as it so often claims.

Pros

Competitive salary. Good, organized onboarding. Good DEI.

Cons

Uninspiring client work. Bad work-life balance. Inexperienced senior staff. Revolving door of staff. Good onboarding, but not reflective of how the company actually works. Met very few employees who'd been there for more than three years. Most people are very nice, a few are not or missed the onboarding.
