Pros
Cannot think of any benefits.
Cons
Impossible to work remotely because of very bad management. No one cares if you don’t understand a task. Unfriendly team and always “busy” developers surround you. No carrer growth.

Pros
- Good software engineers who work hard - Free lunch once a week - Free Vitality Health Insurance
Cons
- Chaotic, top-down toxic culture with low trust in people to do their jobs - Management style feels controlling rather than empowering - Constant fire-fighting across teams - Poor planning, with project managers often operating in panic mode - Non-technical roles with technical titles always in panic mode - Client raised tickets sent straight to developers with no proper triage - Under-resourced QA with a bad attitude towards developers and a weak support processes - Excessive reporting and monitoring that adds little value - Top down blame culture rather than accountability from senior leadership - Added to out-of-hours WhatsApp groups without consultation, blurring boundaries between work and personal life
