Not what it used to be

Pros

Was a great place to be early on. There were some good times among colleagues, and the work felt rewarding at some points. Made some good friends during my time there.

Cons

Looking back, morale started to decline in 2018, with recurring layoffs and constant uncertainty becoming the norm. Employees are expected to maintain a high workload with little opportunity for advancement. Promotions and hiring often seem driven by politics and favoritism rather than performance. It's disappointing to see the direction of a company I once believed in.
