Pros

The colleagues are young and there is an international working environment. For most of the time, the language used is English. A fairly relaxed working environment. Possibility to have flex hours from time to time.

Cons

The most important con is the payment, that is below industry average. Possibility of raises and bonus after 1 year in the company, but those are not significant. Management in London and Cincinnati is not really paying attention to the specifics of each country/ local requirements; this leads many times to confusion and more time spent taking internal decisions than it would be really necessary. Very slow process and limited possibilities for advancement. People leaving and joining the company each day - hard to keep track of all your colleagues, especially of they are located in other country. Most people spend 1-3 years in the company.

Pros

Coworkers are willing to help you and answer questions.

Cons

Abysmal pay for industry standards. Work will be piled on continuously. More and more studies. Forced to present impossible timelines. And then you have to speak to why these timelines were not met after the fact when it's outside of your control. Travel expectations thrown at you with a couple days notice. CEO micromanages the entire company. They track when you badge in and badge out of the building. You have to badge out to exit. Upper management throws you under the bus in front of sponsor despite agreeing with you in prep call and telling you they will have your back. People here work crazy long hours late into the evening and think it's normal.
