Pros

There is no real pros, but many people bring their family and get them jobs without having any experience or related background. That can be a pro if you are that kind o people.

Cons

The company is sinking and in panic mode. Overall the company commit so many mistakes during the past 6 years after covid that all the money that we make during this period is gone, and they also lose any inovation capability by hiring young incompetent leaders and engineers, there is so many other companies that can make the product better, cheaper and faster, that is actually very surprising they can still make it to the revenue reports. Is most likely that the company will dissapear during the next 3 to 5 years, they are putting all their money and hope in to a new production method for their main product, the problem is that this new method and tech is garbage, they try to make it work for the past 10-12 years without success and is only fuel by product development directors ego and personal ambitions, the ceo fall for the scam and now is time to show a result of something that is just not there to the market, also to make it worst they adquire a crappy company a couple years back after they get desparate, with the promise that they will fix this new production method, and the people of this new company just took the money and run, now they are stuck with a expensive and useless machines that nobody can really modify or access because as usual this company lock down all their tech to prevent leaks ON THE SAME COMPANY!! that is the level of team trust. There is many bad companies out there, but not many that destroy completly their reputation and customer base in so little time, and so far there is no intention or the minimum reaction to try to avoid the fall. So good luck and hope they can do better when they finally start fixing all their structural problems.

Pros

Fast-paced and energizing environment: If you enjoy variety, momentum, and new challenges, you’ll never be bored. There’s always something interesting to work on. Great place to grow quickly: The speed of change creates a lot of opportunity to take on new responsibilities, lead initiatives, and stretch your skills. Ideal for people who thrive in ambiguity: If you’re someone who likes building as you go, experimenting, and figuring things out in real time, you’ll feel right at home.

Cons

The pace can be overwhelming: Change happens constantly, and things move so quickly that teams rarely get a moment to slow down or recalibrate. Lack of structure during transitions: Processes, succession planning, and handoffs lag behind the speed of the work, which can create confusion or gaps. Workload is often redistributed, not reduced: Projects rarely pause, even if team headcount is cut in half; instead, responsibilities shift quickly from person to person, which can make the workload feel heavy. Compensation is not adjusted no matter how many times workload is. Hard to maintain institutional knowledge: With frequent changes and shifting priorities, important context and processes can get lost unless teams are very intentional about capturing it. 5-days in-office: In 2025, the CEO announced a shift from 3 days in-office to 5-days. This change was presented without real reason other than the CEO believing it was the right choice to increase collaboration.
