Pros

The remote work setup is convenient and offers flexibility. Some colleagues are helpful and collaborative, which makes teamwork manageable when it works well.

Cons

The company tends to prioritize delivery timelines over the long-term well-being and development of its teams. Project needs often override employee concerns, and high workloads are common, especially when planning is unclear or timelines shift late in the process. There is limited structure for professional development — no formal mentorship programs, skill-building initiatives, or clear progression paths. Senior-level roles are few, and internal advancement feels more tied to tenure than to growth or contribution. Team leads and managers are often promoted from within, but not all have had leadership experience outside the company, which can result in inconsistent communication and expectations. Micromanagement is something I occasionally encountered, and autonomy in decision-making was limited depending on the team. There's no dedicated HR function, so resolving internal issues can be difficult. Employees often manage these matters informally, which doesn't always lead to fair or consistent outcomes. Short-term contracts are common, and this affects both morale and retention. Many capable people leave, and new hires are frequently onboarded into fast-paced projects without enough support.
