Pros

Used to be free food. That’s gone now too

Cons

If you’re thinking about building a long-term career here — don’t. There’s zero focus on growth or retention. You’ll grind, burn out, and get replaced without a second thought. Managers? Totally checked out or too busy covering themselves to actually manage. Culture is all talk, no substance. Only join if you’re desperate for a name on your resume — and even then, set a timer. And if you do stick around, get ready to be doing the same tasks day in and day out until you’re old. It’s a dead end in a nice suit.
