Pros

Independent work allows you to develop technical skills — mainly to make your own job easier, since there is no real support from management

Cons

Lack of employee appreciation – skills are taken for granted. False promises of promotions and career growth. Frequent group layoffs, paired with "fake" internal support that leads nowhere. No feedback during internal recruitment processes. Management is unprofessional, inexperienced, and unable to lead effectively.
