Pros

* Good work life balance * Free food and drinks * If you are in a clique, have backing from your manager, or fly under the radar, you are fine

Cons

* Many leadership here seem to lack serious skills, and operate by politics. Which means it seems as though impactful work isn't rewarded, but buddies are. * Many leaders stay in their position by seemingly hogging all the keys and knowledge. * Due to the lack of skills, there's a lot of insecure leaders that resort to actions that come off as bullying, gaslighting, targeting, and other toxic behaviors * We have not seen that the leaders are held accountable for their actions, nor upholding any form of good work ethics. * Actions that look like scapegoating for their lack of judgement * Actions that look like targeting of ICs to silence them (because the ICs inadvertently stumbled into their skeletons in the closet) The problem here is that on the surface, everything seems ok and tolerable. Bullies don't bully everyone. The issue is once you are marked, you become the dog that gets kicked around by everyone (mostly leaders) with no fault of your own. If you aren't marked, its tolerable here. Don't join this company if you are soft-spoken, too nice, very skilled, and don't understand politics. You will find knives in your back, and they won't stop coming. No one will come to protect you, unless you are a leader. Leadership are protected here - to the degree in which it is abnormal compared to other places. So honestly, stay away from here

Food at the office, lunches provided

Cons

Management seems to be lost, lots of managers and directors at this company that have no idea what leadership is or how to bring people together as a team.
