Pros

- International and diverse colleagues except for upper management. - The product is good enough and the competition are terrible.

Cons

There’s a reason for all the terrible reviews and scores. The. company burn through people and cause burnouts at an alarming rate. There’s lots of promises but in reality, they do everything to keep the salaries and stock options below minimum. Read your contract very very carefully as you probably won’t get most of the benefits they promised. You may get lucky with a stable team, clear product vision, or a decent manager but don’t count on it. The epidemic only accelerated their demise. Product are pressured to give guestimatsions that engineers have to execute or get bad reviews. There’s no product or engineering culture. It’s all sales driven.

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
