Pros

work life balance, management, benefits

Cons

Do not work here unless you want carreer your growth to be kneecaped, as you will not be provided the tools you need to succeed. At the beginning of each month. They allow you about $50 worth of premium tokens and then and put you on a model from 10 months ago (in my case 5.o mini) so you're basically working in the past. It's frustrating to, after the first few days of the month, do everything 10x slower. It's indicitive of a poorly run company, as AI enabled me to increase my output 10x, and they intentionally throttle that growth. Beauracratic nightmare. Work for somewhere that enables you to do your job well. That allows you to keep up with current tools.
