      Pros

      Friendly Colleagues: The team is generally friendly and supportive. I get along well with my coworkers, which makes the work environment pleasant. Office Amenities: The office is nice, with amenities like free snacks and a gym, which are good perks. Learning Resources: There are opportunities to learn new skills and improve, though they aren't always as structured as they could be.

      Cons

      Promotion and Compensation: Promotions can take a long time, and the salary increases don't always match up with market rates. Workload: At times, the workload can be overwhelming at times, which makes it hard to maintain a good work-life balance.
