Pros

Catered lunch is a benefit I guess.

Cons

There’s zero communication from the USA senior leadership team. The mid-level management over compensate for this lack of communication with too many mediocre, low-level updates. There are a number of toxic employees who boast about not using paid holiday, working through paid holiday days and working excessive hours outside of what’s reasonable. The Workplace team do a good job of making you feel like you’re valued and have many well being and diversity events, but most employees are so overworked that they don’t have the time to entertain such events. The product is not easy to sell outside the US, there are issues with Sales ops, impacting Sales reps getting remunerated correctly. Roll of the dice if you’re in a good team under a competent manager, if you’re unlucky you’ll often get spoken down to, with a VP taking external stresses out on staff which is humiliating and demeaning.

Pros

Great benefits, including health care, free lunch every day, snacks, access to counselling services. The staff are all hyper intelligent and really lovely. It's great to have a good team of people to work with. We all have different skills so help each other out to get the best possible results day to day. The work is fast paced and there's always something new to learn every day.

Cons

Shift hours are tough and the schedule rotates every month so it's hard to establish a good work/life balance. The company really strives to help in this regard but it is difficult.
