Pros

Amazing work life balance they are one of the few companies that have realized their colleagues can do the same thing from home as they can in office and actually have better mental health.

Cons

There are very limited opportunities for growth and opportunities do arise. Everything is based on politics and who you know not the work that you’re doing.
