Pros

If you are early in your career and can sacrifice a year, the name will look great on your resume. Tons of unhealthy processed snacks & fruit

Cons

Every single moment is micromanaged from the moment you enter the building or log in to the terminal. This is not a company where you could be yourself. If you have a corporate background and are a by the book person you might do well here, but if you enjoy a healthy work environment where there is support and flexibility this is not the place for you. They have an open desk space and require you to come in the office 3 days a week. Employees are constantly getting COVID. Instead of doing something about this either changing the floor plan, alternating days to come in so theres never too many people in the office at the same time, they just believe "you'll get through it" words used by a manager here. Not to mention you will be expected to use your own laptop while you work from home. This company generating millions a day expects thier employees to use their own laptops for work. They believe its a privilege for you to work there and will treat you as such. If you want more than a company doing bare minimum for you, this is not the place for you.

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.
