Pros

Aside from the legally mandated benefits and a day off on your birthday, there’s not much to highlight. If you're a junior developer, you might pick up a few things from more senior team members, but don’t expect structured mentorship. There are evaluation cycles in place, but they don’t translate into real growth opportunities. Feedback tends to focus on what you did wrong rather than how to improve. There’s no follow-up, no support, and no actionable or measurable development plans. It’s more about pointing out flaws than helping people grow.

Cons

The product and engineering departments are poorly led. The product lead sets unrealistic expectations, offers no constructive feedback, and often criticizes team members publicly. This creates a toxic environment that discourages collaboration and trust. There is a strong blame culture. When something goes wrong, the focus tends to be on identifying who’s at fault rather than understanding what could be improved. The engineering stack is outdated, and leadership lacks the ability to define a clear technical or product direction. Although there's talk of innovation and scaling, management frequently delegates strategic decisions to teams without providing support or clarity. Overall, the workplace is a disheartening place to work. Even basic matters, like reimbursing travel expenses, are often overlooked.
