Pros

$1 pancake on friday, aside from that, very little.

Cons

This company does not foster collaboration in their teams, everyone is given their own work package and an allocated time budget to finish the task. Taking time away from yourself to help another coworker is inherently 'punished' since you're wasting your own allocated time. Managers don't care for your career development. you better hope that your supervisor will fight for you because if not, you won't be seeing yourself progressing up the ladder. pay is below market value.
