Pros

If your options are limited, this place can work as a short term income source.

Cons

There are A LOT behind the scenes tension than you might anticipate. Internal conflicts can surface indirectly, making collaboration less smooth and and quite draining. WFH tends to be misleading. It’s not about autonomy or balance, it often translates into unpredictable schedules, last minute requests, and work spilling into weekends. Leadership quality is inconsistent. There are capable and supportive superiors, but there are also those who raise multiple concerns in terms of management style and professionalism. Before accepting an offer, take time to understand who you’ll be working with & for. It will significantly shape your experience, growth and overall well being.
