Pros

The only positive aspect is that having this company on your CV can be beneficial.

Cons

The company offers low salaries, has a poor work-life balance, and requires employees to be in the office five days a week (which is unreasonable).

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
