Pros

Open-minded and inclusive. Everyone willing to jump in and help out or brainstorm. Attention to detail and technologically innovative. Great benefits and pay.

Cons

It could sometimes be a little difficult to complete same day just due to having to deal with different time zones. However, it never caused me to be overdue. There were a lot of long, long days and nights in the beginning.

Pros

The company mission is interesting The CEO and other teams outside of the commercial team appear to be better functioning Decent pay, but that might not last...

Cons

The commercial team leadership does not listen to employees and is driving the company towards failure. Aside from a select few who are more autonomous, most of the team does not seem actually interested in working together to make the company a success. The culture rewards selfishness, and it seems most people are only concerned about making themselves look busy and blaming others for team shortcomings. If you are ambitious and excited to be a part of a positive team, look elsewhere. Your ideas will not be listened to and any attempts to be proactive will be undermined. It also feels like there is little to no room for individual growth with a very top-heavy team. The company is not performing well, and they are firing people without warning instead of layoffs - I believe in an attempt to avoid paying severance and unemployment benefits. Based on the bizarre interactions and complete lack of ingenuity I witnessed, I don't believe the people leading this business will be successful.
