Pros

Great WLB due to low compensation and low salary - mid-management also "takes its time" and working just a several hours per day.

Also - this is a great company to headstart your career. After a year or two you can pretty much double up your salary and the industry will mostly welcome you.

Cons

There is a lack of top tech due to very low pay grade and compensation, which I'd say is at least 30% below market.

Management really takes advantage of the world crisis even though it doesn't affect the company whatsoever, and they use it as an excuse to have a really bad compensation even if you are a top performer.

There is a ridiculous daily allowance for food.

Basically, with every step you take, you always feel like someone is saving money and you're just here to be squeezed.

Advice to Management

I think you didn't notice that as much as you're saving on your employees, your employees also save on you.
