Pros

the benefits, the snacks, the people, the hours (although they are long, at least you get home at a reasonable hour)

Cons

Most of the middle managers are not very bright and judge people based on their perceptions of them. People are judged strictly on the quantity of work they do as opposed to the quality. If for some reason, a manager does not like you, he/she can come up with bogus reasons to have you fired or make your life so difficult that you leave. The work is a whole new level of boring/mind-numbing. Backstabbing is HIGHLY encouraged. In fact, the quickest way to get a middle managers respect is to point out the flaws in your co-workers work. For all of their talk of transparency, there is absolutely nothing transparent about the operation.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
