Pros

Honestly can't think of any

Cons

Toxic work culture Very hierarchical and top heavy In constant fear of redundancy (although after people leave because they're scared they will lose their financial security the company hires new people) Slow progression and zero support although expectations are high Salaries are a joke (you're basically a modern slave just so you can tell people that you're an engineer) Senior people keeping the quality work for themselves, so many people were underutilised

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
