Business Outlook

Pros

- Good work-life balance - Low-hierarchy organization with semi-approachable leadership - High level of trust and responsibility - Exposure to international projects and stakeholders

Cons

- No opportunities for career progression unless a role opens up or you switch teams internally - Strong performance doesn't translate into progression or compensation growth - Very flat and egalitarian culture. Great if you value stability and collaboration, but frustrating if you're motivated by meritocracy, differentiation, and career growth
