Pros

Great international work atmosphere that encourages collaboration.

Cons

The organizational structure is like a mosh pit, with everyone trying to leverage others. Be prepared for a competitive environment.

Pros

Amazing solid company, competitive salary.

Cons

Salaried employees must still account for their time by the hour and need to use PTO on weeks where work totals less than 40 hours (or choose to be paid less for that week).

Pros

Well structured company. Evident growth culture. Paid overtime for full time regular exempt employees.

Cons

Overtime is paid at 1x. Workload will vary much more compared to other more straightforward and repetitive-work industries.
