Pros

Fancy workspace.

Lots of internal technical documents for you to read.

Cons

Poisonous company culture with creepy sculpture in the workspace.

Salary is relatively low compared to the work you have to do.

Medium salary and low hourly rate.

Too many entry-level employees; promotion is slow.

Squid Game happens every year.
