Pros

Good compensation Good work life balance. Flexibility to work from home

Cons

Good people are let go because numbers don't add up. De-motivating and highly uncertain environment Few people are capable enough to get the full picture of a complex project. And their opinion is lost in the endless discussions on unimportant topics

Hello, although we enjoy hearing that you found a good work-life balance and have good compensation, we do regret hearing that you feel like you work in a de-motivating and uncertain environment. We would like to advise you to speak to your HR representative about this. Thank you for taking the time to review our company and for the you have been doing for us.
