Pros

Work-life balance, supports hybrid work, a calm office environment, and a decent salary.

Cons

Work can be more tedious rather than exciting. Layoffs are fairly common, with less focus on individual growth. It doesn’t pay as much as other “big tech” companies.

Advice to Management

Reduce the operational complexities of getting things done (too many meetings resulting in too few decisions) and clear up job responsibilities (too many acronyms).
