Pros

Great co workers try to make it a fun place to work. The pay is pretty decent. Relatively flexible hours when needed.

Cons

Systems used are outdated. Went backwards with ticketing systems which are managed in Sweden. Because of this outdated system, simple tasks are made monstrous which is counterproductive. Sometimes isn't worth the pay.

Pros

Pay is fair. If you like being paid the same salary forever.

Cons

No structure. No strategy. Completely reactive. Political. Backstabbing. Nepotism (a whole LOT of nepotism). No investment in brand. No money to spend on anything. No career advancement. I myself have literally not had a manager for 3 years.
