Pros

Coworkers are amazing people. Interesting work.

Cons

Pay is very uncompetitive. Management is demanding, people work close to 9-10hrs per day. Company is not transparent about pay and performance. Bonuses are very small, raises are less than inflation. Performance and long hours are not rewarded.
