Pros

- The place is very diverse, there are people from every single background

Cons

- Pay is much less then other places - Super rigid structure. - Unecessary processes for everything. On my first day I created a PR to fix a SMALL typo on an error message in Office Word, it took 2 months to be merged - Even though they say the position can be remote, you say in the interview that it is a deal-breaker, within 1 month they ask you to go to the office 4 times a week
