Pros

They are flexible with PTO, meaning if you need to leave for anything you can or if you need time off you can take it. However, be wise and don’t abuse this privilege. I watched too many people during my time there take advantage of it.

Cons

They talk of family way too much, and being all inclusive of which they are not. I have watched them treat people in ways I would never treat my family or even a stray animal, so you have been warned. There have been many to leave for this very reason. They also believe a lot in the quiet/silent firing technique. What I mean by that is, one minute you will see someone and 5 minutes later that person has had their world turned upside down in a conference room somewhere and you knew nothing about it until you receive an email telling you they are no longer with the company.

Pros

Good thing national teams allow remote work opportunity because there's not enough space in the local offices anyway, but you might just end up working after hours more often than not.

Cons

No pay raises year after year which is an actual pay decrees when taking into account inflation, fake "flexible" PTO, required to work 45 hours a week without any overtime, raises, bonus, or any financial reward which actually matters. You have to do ridiculous workday feedbacks, and self review every quarter but it means nothing because they don't even consider the feed back you've received when laying off. It is your job to find work, and when there is't enough work for you it's your fault, not leadership's. You get promised new projects and they are always delayed for months at a time and many times nothing even comes out of it. Pretentious company that likes to call itself "family" - only red flags here.
