Pros

Great work-life balance. Very relaxed culture.

Cons

The engineering at most of the company is not that great.

Not a lot of direction is provided for more junior developers, who are often given projects that are out of their experience.

It also doesn't help that you self-promote, which generates a lot of unnecessary or hastily built applications to fulfill the requirements for promotions.

This leads to a lot of terribly written software that is later abandoned by its creator when they move to a new team.
