Pros

Option for 2 days of work from home each week. Good health insurance coverage for employees. Occasional Friday perks and small engagement activities. A few genuinely supportive and talented colleagues make the work environment slightly bearable.

Cons

Unrealistic deadlines and constant pressure make it hard to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Even on WFH days, most employees end up working 10–12 hours. Taking leaves is difficult — you must plan and inform months in advance, leaving almost no room for emergencies. Junior and mid-level employees feel professionally stagnant, with minimal learning opportunities or chances for advancement. Top people in leadership are heavily involved in politics that the CEO seems unaware of, as he continues posting motivational quotes on LinkedIn while the real issues remain unaddressed. Senior leaders often take credit for their team’s work while contributing little themselves. Most of their day goes into meetings and pushing tasks downward. The culture feels toxic and unsupportive. Once leadership is done with you, they isolate you and make it uncomfortable to stay — a clear “use and throw” mindset. Resource management is poor, and performance evaluations lack transparency or fairness.
