Exposure to modern tools and rapidly shifting projects.

Cons

- Speed is worshiped while stability and deliberate planning are ignored. - Work is constantly rushed with no clear foundation. - Feedback arrives fragmented and inconsistent. - Revisions pile up because goals are never defined upfront. - Decisions feel impulsive rather than intentional. - Avoidable rework becomes routine. - What appears energetic from the outside quickly turns into exhaustion and burnout.

Business Outlook

Pros

Only pro I could remember was that there was free food

Cons

There is terrible communication between team members and managers, and the expectations are super unrealistic. You have to work extreme hours and there's a reason why turnover is so high at this company. It feels like everyone is just chasing a number and there is no solid work culture.
