Pros

You get to work with remarkably talented colleagues and challenging large-scale projects. You'll experience significant professional growth while earning a competitive salary. The steep learning curve and exposure to impactful work make it an attractive place for career development.

Cons

The work-life balance is particularly problematic, with an overwhelming culture of overwork that makes maintaining personal boundaries extremely difficult, even for those who actively try to do so. The peer pressure to work overtime is constant, as extended hours seem to be the norm rather than the exception. Additionally, the company lacks standard benefits - there are no meal allowances, bonuses, or other perks that are commonly offered in the industry today.
