Pros

Good office location and company benefits

Cons

The company tries to groom favorite individuals due to relationships, which are incompetent to move up quickly in the company. They steal your work ideas and make it their own, while discrediting you. When things go wrong because of their incompetence they blame you.

Pros

Exposure to interesting projects and clients.

Cons

Workplace culture is heavily production-based, prioritizing output over employee well-being or quality. Toxic leadership style at both the principal and line-manager levels. Managers micromanage every step and often wait for mistakes just to point them out.
