Pros

Honestly can't give any. Agree with the other honest reviews that it's all smoke and mirrors

Cons

There's an internal push for managers and HR to add positive reviews to counter the negative ones. That should tell you everything you need to know. EMEA leadership is the worst I've ever seen. Either Senior leadership in the US is too inexperienced to see this when hiring them, or they actually want these type of characters in the business. I don't know which one is worse. Doesn't help that the targets are so out of touch with reality. All the good people are now leaving and I'm not surprised. It's just going to get worse and worse. Do yourself a favor and run as fast as you can.

Pros

Great salary, I work on a team that has excellent balance. I get recognized when I do good work.

Cons

Company has a big focus on AI, but not sure we’re all marching in the same direction and often doesn’t feel like a good use of resources.

Pros

* Remote-first culture with flexibility. * Competitive market-rate compensation.

Cons

* **Too many layers of management.** There are excessive management layers that often create bottlenecks and encourage micromanagement instead of empowering employees to better serve customers and build great products. * **Lack of investment in IC.** Many teams remain understaffed, resulting in consistently high workloads. Burnout is common, and employees are frequently expected to take on responsibilities well beyond their role and pay band without recognition. * **"Flexible PTO" doesn't feel truly flexible.** While the company advertises flexible PTO, in practice there appears to be an informal limit/fake. Taking around three weeks or more of PTO can draw leadership attention, and it can feel like using the benefit may negatively affect performance reviews, even when work expectations are met. This discourages employees from taking the time off they need to recharge.
