Pros

Good salary and amazing dnd.

Cons

Everything else. - toxic work culture where the people are too demanding and expecting everything to be provided by the company. - too many long timers who are not familiar with the new changes in the world. They expect us to work in the 90s mindset. Time to change the management.
