Pros

Honestly avoid at all costs

Cons

This organisation has a creepy cult like culture. They speak of enablement and empowerment as long as you follow the herd and never question it. There are huge bullying sentiments across the board. Management are passive aggressive, no autonomy and do as i say ethos which is debilitating. Avoid at all cost. Trust me the 1.5hr lunch is more than what it seems.

Pros

Amazing mobility budget : company car, company bike, metro and train subscription! Good tech stack. Life/work balance: yeah, we never returned 100% at the office.

Cons

Toxic Management: The leadership lacks transparency, only communicates with certain favorites employees, leading to unequal treatment and further dividing the team. They cannot handle any criticism and poorly delegate work towards the team. Terrible communication between colleagues with different timezone, it lacks coordination and leads to isolation. All knowledge is in hands of a small number of people who don't like to communicate. Work Environment: The atmosphere is unhealthy, with colleagues talking behind each other's backs. It's hard to trust anyone as gossip and rumors are rampant. Office: We moved to a tiny and noisy coworking space. Religion: The CEO starts every meeting with a prayer...

Pros

Good talented people who work together well within their own teams. A few managers are excellent Access to good systems, or potential to have access Good pay

Cons

USA is not the centre of the world. For a "global" company they refuse to understand this. Seems like they bought Voxbone to tick a box, they have no clue on how to manage the INTL portion of the business. They often have people in the Exec level positions who have tunnel vision, no clue about the international market space and look to promote only across their USA business. Every meeting at some point has someone saying " In USA we don't do x".. Little or no recognition for people who actually do the work.. unless you're American..
