Pros

Sabbatical, Wednesday lunch, Snacks, and breakfast, Gym, Salary

Cons

- Personal ties are frequently prioritized over actual talent and merit - especially in internal hiring. HR & recruiters are not honest and unclear about so many processes. - This office has an absolute capacity to degrade your mental health - Very superficial people are creating a rotten work culture. - Extreme-level politics are not to your face, but they exist very much. - poor manager (worst), no accountability, and no support. 'figure it out' pathetic attitude. - Marketing is filled with broken processes. I could not believe such a big company is operating/functioning like a 2-year-old business. - Favoritism - irrespective of you being good at your job. You must socialize and become a favorite to stay here. - It is bad for personal growth as only favorite people will climb the ladder.
