Pros

Strong problem-solving environment, you build skills in ambiguity, cross-functional work, and fixing broken systems that most companies shield you from. Broad scope across travel and expense, you get exposure to multiple revenue streams and business models.

Cons

Data quality is poor, and leadership still relies on it for decisions, which creates misalignment on performance and priorities. Internal ownership is unclear, and leaders do not enforce accountability across teams, so problems get passed around. Cross-functional communication is inconsistent, and leadership does not enforce clear operating cadences or standards. Teams are expected to operate with high ownership, but without clear direction or structure from management. The environment is reactive, and leadership does not consistently prioritize building scalable systems over short-term fixes.

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
