Pros

Pay was satisfactory.

Advertised culture and values look good.

Cons

Work overtime daily. Work on Sunday every 2 weeks. Almost no personal life.

Actual culture and values differ far from those boasted in most teams. There is no engineer culture; it is purely product-oriented.

Hard to get promoted. No annual salary raise.

Management is in chaos. Goals change a lot (except for core teams).
