Great place to work, although not for everybody.

Pros

You get to work with great people, everybody seems to be very focused on the company's mission and keeping it a great place to work! It might not be everybody as a lot of work you can do is based on your own initiative, definitely not the place for waiting to get a task assigned to you or to sit back and wait for something to happen. Lot's of opportunity to develop yourself continuously and are given the room to do so as well, within a fun environment that does cater your well being with healthy breakfast options, massage sessions by professionals, flexible working hours (It's great that I can start at 10 in the morning on any given day or even a bit later when I want to work during evening hours, or vice versa) an environment to tackle your workload to prevent you from burning out. International travel, not just money without borders but people and teams without borders as well!

Cons

Sometimes leadership could step up in areas that need more focus, you have a lot of autonomy and it means that you have to hold yourself accountable to the things that you would like to do, and with that many different options within the company its easy to loose yourself in different areas.

Don't buy into the hype

Pros

Lots of work related travel. There are a couple of really great people there.

Cons

Very cold employer with little to no attempt at wellbeing. Typical startup thinking; that a fancy office and a ping-pong table is all employee's need. Many people in leadership positions for being last person standing, rather than being a great leader. Very little individuality, it's company at all costs. Saw many people burn out and it was deemed as their fault for not fitting in with the company. Boys club. Overall, a very disappointing place to work. Lots of hype on glassdoor.
