Pros

Good work-life balance and perks like free food, a 401(k) match, and global offices.

Cons

Managers and tech leads escape real responsibility and blame juniors. They hire and promote only those from the same regions.

Advice to Management

Learn to respect people from different backgrounds, and make sure the technical leads are held responsible for their incompetence.
