Pros

The company's culture and environment is brilliant for personal development. You'll meet really nice, welcoming people who are amazing colleagues. The atmosphere is always supportive, and colleagues can eventually even become your friends - of course not all though!

Cons

The professional development and career paths feel somewhat restrictive. In some cases, your managers can't really advise you of the best paths of development, and in other cases, your goal seems unreachable.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
