Pros

Very collaborative environment, surrounded by friend, incredibly intelligent people. Lots of opportunity to make your role your own, and work without being micromanaged. Very interesting, challenging, and varied projects. The company has many very experienced, knowledgable people who make great mentors.

Cons

As a manager, it's difficult to reward employees because the compensation policy is very conservative. If you're an employee who frequently goes above and beyond, it's difficult to feel rewarded for that performance. As a global company, some of the policies and procedures seem very small-company minded.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
