if you get in the right team, work life balance is ok

Cons

if you get in the wrong team your work life balance is going to be horrible. this company has no regards with employee's workplace ways of working. borderline criminal conduct on pay and dismissal. no adequate support to work efficiently or effectively. false promises all around no career growth or job security being treated unprofessionally constantly toxic culture from senior management team too much hierarchy for a company of this size disconnect from senior to lower level employees
