Pros

When I joined the team 3 years ago it was a dream role. Exciting business, huge growth mentality and by all accounts an industry leader. I suppose it’s true what they say if something seems too good to be true it generally is ….

Cons

These past two years have seen leadership make mass layoffs in late November/ Early December which is starting to look like a trend at GP. There is a huge element of secrecy internally about them as if the remaining staff don’t know what has been happening, but suddenly a colleague will disappear from a slack channel that is how ruthless they are! They manage to keep a lot of this quiet by effectively getting those laid off to sign a severance pay agreement in return for silence. Their selection methods for redundancies seem unethical I have seen teams where some of the best performers have been laid off and can only assume they played favourites. Not only this but I know that they have laid off people who have had recent family bereavements, are on maternity leave and who have just left a company to join GP - their morals and ethics are non existent! You are only a number here and there is only one way this company is going unfortunately for those of us who are left.

Pros

Real Career Growth: This isn’t a place where you’re stuck in one role forever. There is a genuine "promote from within" philosophy. It’s incredibly motivating to see so many current leaders who started in entry-level or mid-level positions. Retention Speaks Volumes: You’ll find a lot of "veterans" here with 4+ years of service, which is rare in tech/remote environments. People stay because they’re treated well. 100% Remote & Global: The flexibility is unmatched. You get to work with incredibly smart people from all over the world, which keeps perspectives fresh and the talent bar high. Non-Hierarchical Leadership: Unlike other companies with "ivory tower" leadership, the execs here are accessible. There’s a focus on doing great work rather than navigating complex political layers. Psychological Safety to Innovate: The culture is fast-paced but fun. We’re encouraged to experiment, fail fast, and find better ways to do things. If you have a solution that improves a process, leadership actually listens.

Cons

Not for the Passive: Because it’s fast-paced and experimental, you have to be comfortable with ambiguity. If you need a rigid, step-by-step manual for every task, the "experimentation" culture might feel overwhelming at first. Time Zone Tetris: Being global and 100% remote is a huge plus, but it does mean being mindful of meeting times across different continents.

Pros

- Fully remote work - Met some smart and ambitious people.

Cons

The person who hired me was laid off three months later and I took on their responsibilities. That's when I learned that the people who previously held that position were also very quickly laid off. Four months later, they laid me off. Two months after that, they laid off the person who laid me off. And one month after that, they laid of the person who laid that person off. At a certain point, even the least perceptive among us must realize that the problem is not with all the people who get laid off so quickly. It's an org that's rotten to the core.
