Pros

The flexibility of working from home is a major benefit and contributes positively to work-life balance.

Cons

The company does not consistently follow its own internal policies unless it is convenient for them. For example, despite stating security policies, they do not deploy proper cloud firewalls and instead rely on basic NAT gateways, which lack the ability to inspect or filter internet traffic. They also do not implement stateful inspection for inbound traffic, relying solely on a web application firewall for port 443. These gaps contradict their own stated security requirements. It’s concerning when policy is cited as grounds for termination while operational practices don’t align with those same standards.
