Toxic environment, plus no actual support for mental health.
Pros: There's a very low possibility to work remotely, depending on the project.
Cons: Unfortunately, there's more cons than pros. The core values seem to be great, the company keeps at the top of "best places to work" list, but in reality, when it comes to a daily basis routine, you actually need to handle several uncomfortable (specially gender related) situation. It is way too common to hear homophobic and racist "jokes" from co-workers, it is also sadly too common to be treated without respect when you are a woman (it increases if you are on a leadership position at a misogynist team). When you request to work remotely supported by a medical suggestion, to take care of your mental health and proceed with the treatment for depression, it may be denied based on the personal preferences of your manager just to have the team on site.
