Pros

Many hardworking and talented people trying their best in a difficult environment. Interesting projects and opportunities to learn fast. Modern tools and some flexibility depending on the team.

Cons

Unfulfilled promises. Raises, promotions, and recognition are discussed often but rarely follow through. Morale suffers when effort goes unrewarded year after year. Top-down culture. Despite the branding about collaboration and inclusion, real decisions are made by a small inner circle. It often feels like a “who you know” environment rather than a merit-based one. Work-life balance is inconsistent. The company publicly emphasizes wellness but doesn’t back it up with realistic expectations or proper staffing. Communication gap. Feedback is welcomed in theory but frequently dismissed or lost in follow-up. Transparency exists mostly in presentation decks. Retention challenges. High turnover across departments creates constant instability and heavier workloads for those who remain.
