Pros

Fun events, snacks, parties, culture

Cons
  1. Dark office politics and hidden secrets.

  2. No job security. They have a quick hire-and-fire policy. I have seen them fire people without warnings and not even inform their team about the firings to maintain a myth of a good environment.

  3. Work depends on the team you are working on: either people find it too boring and stagnant or too pressurized.

  4. They try to lure employees by throwing parties but offer no actual holidays or sick leaves.

Advice to Management

Value your employees, just don't treat them like herds that you hire every month.
