      Pros

      Friendly Colleagues: The team is generally friendly and supportive. I get along well with my coworkers, which makes the work environment pleasant. Office Amenities: The office is nice, with amenities like free snacks and a gym, which are good perks. Learning Resources: There are opportunities to learn new skills and improve, though they aren't always as structured as they could be.

      Cons

      Promotion and Compensation: Promotions can take a long time, and the salary increases don't always match up with market rates. Workload: At times, the workload can be overwhelming at times, which makes it hard to maintain a good work-life balance.

      Pros

      Free ebook every week, good benefits, free lunch every day if you’re in the office.

      Cons

      Extremely siloed to the point where people in the same team don’t even communicate. A lot of people that are hired are not fit for the role they are hired for. A lot of favortism, same people getting recognition over and over again even for mediocre work. They try to sell this image of being a friendly brand/company to work for but there is a good amount of hostility, cliques and politics within the org that make it difficult to navigate. Pay is not competitive.
