We love hearing the positive sentiment you've shared around your experience with our transparent communications, workplace benefits, team collaboration, and diversity programs. As we scale, we're working to constantly improve processes - that includes our onboarding processes and the time it takes for new joiner onboarding (there is actually a specific initiative underway for our Solutions Engineering onboarding in particular).

Pros

I have had the pleasure in working with some great leaders and teams across regions since joining, management are eager to see you grow and be successful. I was set up for success from the moment of joining and continue to get all support and resource I need to do my job well. In only a few months I have been able to connect with my departments VPs, Senior leaders and many inspiring people in the teams and it is an open door policy which I love!! I am pushed to explore more, share my ideas and own my role. Plus my team are AMAZING.

Cons

No cons at this stage - my only note would be we are a very fast paced and fast expanding business, change is a constant and being able to adapt will really help in your time here.
