Pros

Nice office Nice food/snacks/coffee Free parking

Cons

Poor management No training to the new whatsoever and provide no feedback on how you are doing or what you need to improve on until too late Will not give you opportunity to grow/improve or provide assistance The management do not care for your well-being and willing to fire you on the spot if you do not improve. Some managers do not know how to lead/manage their employees - super small time (such as 2 people) when they give you overwhelming tasks Do not provide expectations/deadlines and then they suddenly just "blame" on you Management gives "vague" feedback

Pros

Company culture - the people are great. Decent benefits for a single person Interesting products and projects Work from home flexibility (2 days)

Cons

Compensation could be more competitive for the area. Unfortunately, they are taking advantage of the employer market right now, and offering salaries 6k less than what starting salaries the year prior was offered. Your manager definitely has the biggest impact on your time here, with little regulation or management above them. It will entirely shape your experience, for better or for worse. Decreased work from home flexibility - when I accepted the offer, my recruiter told me it was typical for employees to work from home around the November and December holidays, with no need to take all your vacation days to do so. At the last minute, this norm was mysteriously taken away, and depending on your manager, employees were told to either use their vacation days or be in the office the day before and after Xmas. Cozy. The AI strategy here is starting to finally look like an actual strategy, but before that it was in every sense of the world a mania and definitely shifted the culture in a bad way. Kudos to the people who attempted to take leadership and actually formulate our strategy. HR here is kind of useless, the team is extremely bloated. Onboarding was not a fun experience.
