- Colleagues are nice and very skilled - If you survive here, you can survive anywhere

Cons

- ZERO work-life balance, prepare to answer messages at 2am - Salary like peanuts for juniors - NO appreciation for work, they expect you to slave for them - Fake "benefits " like pantry to lure fresh grads - Management like politics playground, you suck up or get thrown aside here

Pros

I was able to launch projects that real people see, which is rare in other places. Very sharp and pragmatic CEO, unlike big corp ones full of non-sense. 80% of colleagues are genuinely nice who are willing to step in to help. Fast response from HR 100% of the time. You learn a ton in the first year. Compensation is above the market. Nice office, good travel policy

Cons

Bad selection of managers. They have no industry knowledge. I had 5 managers in 2 years. Most are raised within the organization, they have 0 clue how outside world works. Many managers are incapable to deliver results. They complicate simple things, never communicate properly with other stakeholders. Whenever something goes wrong, they will just blame you or someone else. Also they are very political, things they do are out of their own interest. Very rare they care about the company or the project itself Very slow! To be specific, things CEO looks at moves along just fine. But other stuff, which is the majority of projects just sit in a limbo state
