Pros

Work from home twice a week, which really helps with flexibility. Location is convenient and close to home. Family and intimate atmosphere.

Cons

Communication isn’t always clear, which causes confusion and slows down processes. There are way too many meetings throughout the day, leaving very little time to focus on actual work. This often leads to finishing tasks after hours, hurting work-life balance. Too many projects running at the same time, and each one takes a lot of time to execute. It often feels unrealistic to manage everything at once. Not enough respect for employees’ time and priorities, which can create unnecessary stress.
