CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary, free food, car park

Cons

Promotions here seem to be based more on visibility than on technical ability. There’s little attention given to individual contributors, compensation, or role clarity, and the criteria for advancement often feel inconsistent and unfair.
