Pros

Good for juniors to learn skills and show passion to a certain point. Good work life balance. Good culture. Unlimited pto.

Cons

But once junior reaches mid level, it's impossible to get better from there because senior and staff title in ancestry doesn't mean anything. You see bunch of bad to mediocre people who call themselves as an Engineer rank up once they stayed there enough time. Then they dont have will and desire to grind their skills. Instead, they like to play politics to show people that they r doing the work. Full of crap. Pay is way below market average. Some managers r very stupid and dont know who is actually doing the job. And pushes wrong person for promo. I'm sick and tired of this so I'm left with better pay
