Nice atmosphere, mostly lovely people. A lot of potential. Decent learning budget, lovely snacks.

Work life balance is far from optimal for those who commute. No car for software developers although it's common in the market. Bad

Pros

* A good place for fresh graduates to gain initial experience and build their resumes. * Opportunities to take on responsibilities early in your career. * Some talented and passionate colleagues who can be inspiring to work with.

Cons

* The culture feels more like a cult than a company, catering heavily to young, single individuals. It’s not inclusive or supportive of diverse lifestyles or priorities. * Loyalty is not rewarded. Pay raises are minimal, and being content in your role is frowned upon. Instead of supporting employees’ growth, management constantly pushes for more work and responsibilities. * If you resist this pressure or set boundaries, you’re at risk of being placed on a performance improvement plan (PIP) or terminated. * Middle management lacks experience and professionalism. Many have never worked elsewhere and are suddenly given responsibilities outside their expertise. This leads to decisions being made in an insular bubble with little understanding of broader industry practices. * Work pressure is consistently high, with little regard for employee well-being or work-life balance.
