Pros

Days off, relax clothing mandate and snacks.

Cons

It’s all about who you know, company is very superficial and they never speak direct. If the reviewer doesn’t like you they go out of their way to mark you down while others who do exactly the same are being called model teammates. Big talk, little explanation and support. When you provide “feedback” you can see it’s almost like they are offended that you don’t agree.
