Pros

1. Free meals and snacks for on-site employees. 2. Modern office with well-equipped pantry and facilities. 3, Hybrid work model 2 days onsite

Cons

1. Stagnant Career Growth - Promotions are rare. Some employees remain in associate-level roles for many years with no clear development path. 2. Poor Leadership & Toxic Management Style - Managers often focus on nitpicking mistakes rather than offering constructive feedback. - Escalations are frequent and unnecessary, which promotes anxiety, discourages collaboration, and fosters a defensive work environment. - HR appears to have excessive influence, with KPIs seemingly tailored more to HR preferences than actual business needs. 3. Lack of Empathy & Psychological Safety - Team leaders often lack soft skills and emotional intelligence. - A fear-based management style hinders innovation and employee growth. 4. Questionable Diversity - Despite diversity claims, leadership and crucial roles appear to be filled primarily by individuals from similar local backgrounds, with limited representation from international or cross-cultural perspectives.
