Pros

-Salary is within the range

Cons

The way the company is run right now has a few big problems: -Leadership style: All decisions come from the top, with little chance for employees to give input or grow their skills -Focus on numbers: Management cares only about hitting targets, without understanding what's actually happening in our market -Work environment: This is creating a negative atmosphere where good employees keep leaving -Location: The office location is far from everything; the closest bus is 15min walking distance. The mandatory 5-day office policy makes this especially difficult -High turnover -Top-down leadership
