Pros

Ridiculously low pressure environment. People come in late and go early.

Cons

I would say quite some people are "abusing" work from home here since it is allowed and no upper management cares, and they definitely take it too far. Most of the time they don't have a valid reason for doing so. It's not like they have a doctor's appointment or anything they need to take care at home. They make it a routine to take 2 to 3 days work from home every week. That's quite outrageous and their boss won't care. Worst thing is it's very clear they are doing much less on those days. It's their paid time offs and you just know it. This is very demoralizing for those working in office.

Pros

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.

Cons

Top heavy management. Culture values heavy politicking. Low bonuses.
