Pros

Cafeteria, coffee machines, and free food

Cons

no career In my experience, the work was not very meaningful and often felt buried under unnecessary red tape. A lot of things sounded exciting from the outside, but in practice many projects felt surface-level and did not seem to become real production work. Feedback and expectations could also feel vague and shifting, with words like “visibility” and “influence” used without clear guidance. I also felt that career growth and opportunity were not handled evenly, and once concerns were raised, the situation became more stressful rather than more constructive. Hiring and promotion patterns did not always feel transparent, which made the environment feel less fair over time. Overall, I left feeling disappointed by how much the company talks about values compared with how unsupported an employee can feel in practice.
