Pros

Onboarding process is very organized and the operations are clearly defined. Currently everybody is working from home, but there is no mess in the operation, as long as I know. People are kind, and honest. They are assertive but I have never seen mean people. International, and I don't feel awkward being a foreigner. Work-life balance is super, especially compared to Japanese companies. lol

Cons

The pay really depends on the regions you are located. They do bench marking time to time, to align the compensation to the regional market. I think it's fair enough. My pay is lower than I had before, but I'm very satisfied because of the people, work place, decision making process, and mission itself. I wonder how HR can hire very talented people without market highest compensation. It's totally opposite of Netflix, I think. Maybe this is why the culture is warm, and people respect each other. They don't really care who earns like how much. Or never boast for earning more.

Pros

Good PTO, and friendly Wisers.

Cons

Management is totally micromanagement, and the People team does not advocate for employees; they appear present only in name. If I were in Kristo’s position, I would conduct a thorough top-to-bottom review of the entire HR department of U.S., and replace all of them. If over 70% of the Austin team would never recommend this workplace, it is a significant warning sign that needs to be addressed.
