Pros

WFH options - only if you have a good relationship with your manager.

Cons

- For an organisation that advertises itself as a safe workplace, you won’t find it here. This is an unsafe environment where people will steal credit; no matter what. - Siloed teams means information. gatekeeping, and no chance to move up. Your manager will tell you that you will not succeed. - Current CEO is on a pedestal and will get away with unacceptable remarks.
