Pros

Work-life balance

Free food for everyone

Cons

Silent and forced lay-offs are happening.

Very late decision-making.

No proper road map for the product.

Managers are safe players here; it's a hire and silently fire culture.

Do not fall for their prey.

Soon after product investment is stopped, you will be kicked out.

No global investments.

Advice to Management

Plan your product. You will hire when your product is needed immediately and fire later.

There are many employees who will be playing in the game zone all day and they are not seen as a burden, yet committed employees are targeted and fired.
