      Pros

      - Decent entry-level experience - HR was very receptive to concerns

      Cons

      - Management needs a lot of work - Communication was really lacking in my specific team - Felt like I was unable to ask questions - Publicly being called out for small mistakes during the 1st six months which is supposed to be a training period - WLB is terrible. I once got a call from my manager at 9:30PM to work on something.

      Pros

      - The work is intellectually engaging and gave me many chances to grow technically. - I learned a lot from talented coworkers and appreciated being part of projects with real-world relevance. - There was also good exposure to translating technical work into clear, usable takeaways.

      Cons

      - The work can be intense and detail-heavy, and deadlines can sometimes feel demanding. - Priorities may shift quickly, which can make it hard to plan ahead. - At times, the volume of revisions and fast pace can be stressful.
