Pros

Perception of a brilliant culture globally

Cons

The company prioritizes urgent deadlines over sustainable growth, often rehiring previously rejected candidates as a quick fix. This results in a 'plug-and-play' mentality where employees are expected to be instantly productive, completely bypassing the essential onboarding and integration phases
