Pros

No previous experience needed for the job position. Acceptable salary for those who are not skilled yet. It's a great place to learn the basics of development flows and product creation cycles (if you're lucky to have experienced and knowledgeable people in your team, since some of them will just talk and give you no valuable information whatsoever).

Cons

There is no advancement in the career. No opportunity to gain new skills. Improvement on the company level is only switching to a bigger office, and hiring vast numbers of new people and increasing the number of total employees. Tendency to neglect basic social needs, prohibiting the communication between people, promoting unhealthy human relations based on stepping over others to gain favor in the eyes of those who are on the higher position. Discrimination is high even though the managing team will tell you otherwise. You cannot be who you are, you have to be mindless and subdued, and just follow what you're told. You cannot freely state your opinion about the simplest personal tastes. Communication with the Italian team is really a big problem, you cannot say anything that is productive or inventive because of the general opinion that you do not know, will not know how to do the job, despite the fact you are actually doing the job, the one they should be doing.

Pros

The organizational culture is exceptional—the Head of Human Resources genuinely cares about employees, and the VP of Sales stands out as one of the most honest and thoughtful leaders I've encountered. The company strikes a great balance in size: it's small enough that leadership in Marketing, Finance, and Legal are consistently accessible via email, yet large enough that someone is always available to handle urgent issues across time zones. Even though the organization operates fully remotely, teamwork is seamless, and unnecessary meetings are minimized, making work efficient and focused. Senior management is experienced, but also young enough to be trusted with navigating the rapid changes coming to technology in the next five years.

Cons

The organization strongly prioritizes efficiency, meaning company perks such as retreats, swag, and merchandise are minimal. Because the team is highly skilled, new hires must be prepared to hit the ground running to succeed. Additionally, the relatively flat, egalitarian structure might not appeal to individuals accustomed to the hierarchical ranking systems common at FAANG companies.
