Pros

- the brightest, exceptionally high-skilled and talented software engineers - entertaining and fun social events, including wine club and game nights - best in class foosball table (and players, huh) - pretty convenient location in beautiful Old Port area - huge potential to become the best place to work but ....

Cons

- one guy to rule them all: the decision making process is terrible - top to bottom style: no one listens for engineers and take into account their opinions - tech debt stacks for ages: the imposed culture of making shortcuts and fix them later (== never) - no product thinking: the platform is enourmous pile of ad-hoc customizations - bug fixing makes 90% of your day
