Pros

The work and ongoing projects can be interesting. It could be a good starter job.

Cons

The overall culture is mediocre and career progress is slow regardless of performance. Management will burnout high performers without any real compensation. Pay is so-so, raises and bonuses outside of salary are lacking. Management leaves much to be desired, which is often disorganized and disconnected. This leads employees to prioritize attending meetings to talk rather than making real contributions to projects.

Advice to Management

Management (especially 2nd and 3rd lines) needs to be better connected to projects and create a culture that promotes creativity, innovation, and teamwork. The current culture doesn't invest in employees and team building, focusing instead on immediate short-term goals.
