Pros

Some colleagues are friendly, just like in any other company.

Cons

- Top Management is all over the place and not trustworthy - Promises are made to get you in but broken once you are in - Zero empathy, people are just 'resources', disposable at will - The business is in very bad shape financially but pretends to be doing well - Focus is on projecting a good image instead of being a good employer
