Pros

Great Company with at superb product, Exponential Growth, Opportunity to build from scratch

Cons

There is a lack of clarity regarding company values as they are not shared with employees. Regionally, the strategy remains confined to the management level rather than being communicated downward. Additionally, there is no support during the first 90 days; new hires are essentially left to fend for themselves. This later shifts into micromanagement, creating an environment where employees feel restricted.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s great to hear you value the strength of our product. We also appreciate your perspective on onboarding and communication, as clarity early on can shape how teams ramp and collaborate. We aim to provide consistent guidance while supporting employees as they get started. If you would like to talk it through further, your manager or People Business Partner is a good next step.
