Pros

Unlimited PTO makes you get more vacations if your manager is nice Get hands dirty early and can try many state-of-the-art technologies Most of the colleagues are nice

Cons

Absolutely disorganized. Priority keep changing because the management needs to shift focus. (Short-term) Profit is the only concern and it leads to many chaos and politics Some managers tend to micromanage and disrespect people (As a result) Turnover rate is very high
