Pros

Incredible team of driven people. Everyone I've worked with is so knowledgeable and dedicated to their craft. Although I am fully remote, I've always felt supported by my team and manager. There's a lot of opportunity to transition within the company or grow within your preferred role. This is also very dependent on the manager, but some teams are pretty flexible with work hours and locations. There is a level of trust and honor that many other companies or managers may not give. I am also incredibly proud to work for a company where over 58% of the workforce is women.

Cons

Despite the flexible hours, work-life balance is difficult. Working on a global team, there are often late-night or early-morning meetings with teammates in other countries. It's manageable, but definitely not your average 9-5 (depending on your role; this applies to most). There have also been quite a few restructurings throughout the years, which are always a bit difficult to adjust to. Working here requires a strong level of independence, with a learn-by-doing approach rather than hands-on guidance.
