Pros

From the start, I felt like part of the team. It honestly amazes me how friendly and approachable everyone is, especially considering the size of the company. The culture is super supportive, and there are lots of chances to learn and grow. People genuinely care about helping each other succeed, which makes a big difference day to day. And new offices are amazing too.

Cons

The parking in the area has always been a problem.

Pros

In case of good manager, you can swallow bitter pills easier. Good people to work with 13th and 14th salary

Cons

No real promotion, just more work and so called "On-Top roles" with combined inflation and promotion increase a.k.a. 2 in 1 Transparency in process of your development/ any controversal decision of your superior or in hiring process is unreal, it does not exist. Communication is a key while you hold the idea in your pocket, but once you speak up... you will see the rodeo from the bull back.
