      Pros

      Flexible work arrangements. You can WFH or in the office as much as you'd like.

      Cons

      1) Expect to work long hours for low pay. Bonuses are low. There's employees that have been here years with no raises. 2) Expect management to gaslight you by giving you a very heavy workload that requires overtime, then berate you for working overtime. 3) Management loves to routinely screw up in major ways then put all the blame on their subordinates. 4) Technology is incredibly outdated. We use software that looks like it was built in the 90's then never updated since. 5) Little to no opportunities for career growth. 6) Turnover is incredibly high for these reasons, and the employees left are improperly trained and/or not well-fitted for the job.

      Pros

      Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

      Cons

      Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
