Pros

The company used to have a good culture and work-life balance going for it, but not anymore. I can't recall any pros for people who worked during the past year.

Cons

Bad work-life balance, bad culture, a lot of bureaucracy, a lot of AI forced where it's not needed, and a lack of long-term planning.
