Pros

If you want a relaxed place, where to learn things by yourself, then go for it.

Cons

Low recognition for hard work and bright people. The compensation package is not competitive. A bit of ageism: if you are young, you cannot earn that much, unless you have been sitting on that chair for at least 7 years.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
