Pros

If i had to list one I would say some of the people were truly interesting and great to know.

Cons

MaPs is one of those companies that lures you in by promising to be great for your career growth and experiences. They appear to set high standards to draw in an overachieving crowd of young graduates. However once you arrive it is a pure sweatshop. I have never seen a company with turnover that high. People would get hired and leave within a month. If you stay you can either watch an over competitive, paranoid environment turn you into a jerk that throws your own friend under a bus or you can expect to be laid off or fired. They need entry level people to churn and burn through and their turnover record speaks to that. Upper management is all about the bottom line. they do not care about their staff at all. A take it or leave style of management from top down. Its not a nice place to work at all. The pay also sucks for the amount of hours you'll work. And frankly, if you're a top graduate- you can do better than what they pay anyway.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
