Pros

The company offers a good work-life balance and supportive managers who value team wellbeing.

Cons

The frequency of company restructuring—approximately every six months—creates instability and uncertainty. It often results in leadership changes that do not have sufficient context about team performance or individual contributions, which can impact job security and morale.
