Pros

The pay is alright, the work is steady and the people are pretty good

Cons

when there is a toxic person they are not fired and I mean truly, objectively toxic, the just get promoted. And they direction of projects is somewhat nebulous it's hard to accomplish many major objectives

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
