Pros

The company has a good compensation program and it is a great place to learn and be challenge to find solutions for multiple and innovating projects.

Cons

If you are not in US, you will not be consider a 1st tier employee, which means that you will never have leverage to fulfil your role as head of a sector because of the need to be constant asking for approval to colleagues that may not be as much as an expert as you, but because the simple fact that person is at US in directly contact with stakeholders. After all, from my experience, the company gives more importance to money than to people.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
