Pros

Unlimited PTO makes you get more vacations if your manager is nice.

Get your hands dirty early and try many state-of-the-art technologies.

Most of the colleagues are nice.

Cons

Absolutely disorganized. Priorities keep changing because management needs to shift focus (short-term).

Profit is the only concern, and it leads to much chaos and politics.

Some managers tend to micromanage and disrespect people.

As a result, the turnover rate is very high.

Advice to Management

Set long-term goals and stay focused.
