Pros

Comp is very good. Free food is decent.

Cons

No work-life balance (you would work 10-11 hours a day minimum).

Constant jokes from peers (and management) of "do or be fired".

Interests are very short-term. Failure is not an option.

CYA culture everywhere. Zero planning. No transparency from above.

Very poor communication when people come and go. One day you are sitting next to someone, the next day they are gone. No notice, no nothing – just like that.

Advice to Management

Grow up. You have all the money in the world already.
