Pros

The people you interact with on a daily basis (immediate and extended) colleagues are the best asset here. No matter what the top management thinks, everyone treats each other with respect and foster a sense of belonging. There are good opportunities for people in the early stage of their careers to learn, and they do have a decent set of clientele.

Cons

There are serious issues in terms of expectations of the top management (read the two directors) from employees when compared to how much they pay(which isn't much by the way) . Archaic and really outdated policies (They just started work from home but currently only available to the two directors, so just a farce). Most policies are only to serve the management's interests or to show the employees that they care (albeit purely on a superficial level) There is a lot of unnecessary secrecy and mistrust when it comes to simple things like leaves and salary increments. Managers are (or at least pretend to be) powerless in the situations where employees expect support. And most of all, they really don't seem to want to grow much more than what they are, having gotten too comfortable in their current way of doing things.
