Pros

- Great work/life balance, unlimited time-off and wfh policies. - Very good benefits, salary ok. - Open communication and transparency.

Cons

- Culture was destroyed in the last few years. - Infrastructure had changed so many times, disrupts focus on quality products and innovation, and is cumbersome. - Productivity tools replaced for no real reason, and sadly for bad and impractical ones. - Add poor management and you have a combo and poor performance and productivity.

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
