Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of really incredible colleagues to work with and learn from. Entrepreneurial environment, with lots of flexibility and opportunities to tackle new challenges. Global organization, so lots of exposure to different cultural perspectives and working styles.

Cons

Highly distributed org for its size, so communication can sometimes be challenging and you need to be very comfortable with a culture that embraces video calls and other means of connecting that aren't always in-person.
