Pros

Work-Life Balance:

The company offers highly flexible work hours, which significantly helps in managing personal and professional commitments.

Learning Environment:

There are ample opportunities for employees to engage in new work and benefit from learning/skill development initiatives.

Cons

Uncompetitive Compensation & Talent Drain

Compensation is significantly below industry standards, causing a rapid outflow of top talent. This leads to high turnover and a workforce often composed of those doing the bare minimum.

The direct consequence is a sharp decline in work quality, increased bugs, and a substandard product.

Advice to Management

Reduce the bloat, increase compensation, and build lean teams.
