Pros

I truly enjoyed working with my colleagues and team members; they made the workplace a positive and enjoyable environment. The office itself was also lovely, offering a flexible work arrangement between remote and in-office options.

Cons

I sense a lack of clear direction within the company, given the frequent layoffs and restructuring. The once employee-focused work environment now seems externally focused, losing its unique employee- and customer-centric approach.
