Pros

Fantastic office All equipment (desk, meals, computer) provided for effective work RSU package is decent (if you’re in engineering) Enjoyable to work with direct colleagues EV support Plenty of benefits

Cons

Monthly salary is very low; compensation only makes sense with RSU Biannual reorganisations or layoffs almost guaranteed, but only in support functions Uncertain future outlook; only engineers who generate revenue can plan long-term Support functions are constantly cut back, leaving us incredibly overburdened Toxic environment where promotions are based on favouritism No matter the effort, if your manager doesn’t favour you, there’s no promotion No career progression plan; advancement only happens when a position opens up
