Pros

Based on my limited research, appears to pay above market, and has some perks that are less common in the region.

Cons

The company is very much a monoculture, and lacks a lot of diversity (in terms of gender and race). There is often a large difference between the values that it touts, and the expectations that are held. There is a lot of opportunity to make change... but only if you can navigate the various barriers and implicit constraints.

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

Great folks to work alongside. Work-life balance can be good, but depends upon the team/organization you are on.

Cons

Continuous layoffs have led to a poor work culture.
