Pros

Maximum flexibility, like working from home which was important for me. Unlimited PTO etc. Salary is nice and the job is not too overwhelming.

Cons

So far none, everything has been great. From colleagues who are supportive in everything, to team lead which is always there for you during and after onboarding. HR responding quickly etc.

Business Outlook

Pros

Developers, Analysts, and Designers are very nice to talk to

Cons

Constant hiring freezes, stock bonuses are so low it feels like an insult. New CEO is so old, not sure if he ever tried Chatgpt at all. CIO is just a fake "AI expert" without education, experience or any relevant background. CPO never speaks to a real customer, living in his dreams. Director of Analytics is a marketing specialist. Finance is just a pure mess. There are very smart and talented employees with relevant education and background, but they are mostly ignored.

Pros

Salary always paid on time, modern and efficient work equipment, English lessons provided, friendly and supportive colleagues, very well-organized onboarding process.

Cons

A lot of knowledge to absorb at the beginning, intense workdays, working hours adjusted to the US time zone (late evenings in Europe), sometimes fast-paced with high time pressure.
