Pros

Work-life balance can be achieved and colleagues are fun. This is one of the most fun workplace I've had.

Cons

Everything is so messy here. Every kind of initiative that could improve how we work, in terms of revenue-generation, operations, and simple procedures are always stumped by the CEO. He is so afraid of trying new things. He is solely focused on profits and profits, but he has a blind spot over new initiatives and processes that could make him richer faster. He ignores any kind of initiatives that would take significant time but improve process and speed in the long run, in favor of short-term fixes. Every kind of "fixes" that he's doing so far in the company did not improve how we work, it only complicates things. We hire lots of great experienced and talented individuals from amazing companies, but management never listen to their prior experiences, including industry standard procedures. The lack of a solid communication channel (Google Chat is HORRIBLE) defaults us to WhatsApp. Everything gets lost and no one is focused. Scrambled work everywhere. Never forgetting that they are fostering a bully that has been the pain in everyone's bottom. It is said that people left the company because of this bully and it is a shame that he hasn't been fired.

Pros

not much except some colleagues are nice to work with, but many of them have left one after another.

Cons

High turn over esp for Tech related position. Think twice before you accept any tech job offer, you will get lots of work load but pay/benefit always deprived as compare to other dept.
