Pros

Unlimited PTO, Remote work, Travel

Cons

Where do I start? The 1am meetings followed by 7am meetings the following day seem a good place. This is a global company without regional division, which means you will be expected to work around the clock. You will have to sleep during the day to get any sleep at all. Executive management is concerned only with growth, even if at the expense of employee health, and without regard to feasibility. Despite being told "no," sales will promise moon to earn and keep business (which is difficult sometimes), and you will be forced to work your knuckles to the bone to make it happen. When it fails, as you said it would, you will still take heat because leadership does not stand up for its employees. There is no clear vision, no process. Hope you enjoy spending 4-8 hours a week doing nothing but PowerPoint, because it seems to be the only way information is communicated. Documentation isn't kept, let alone read. There is no such thing as work life balance here. You will be subject to meetings at every hour of the day. Say no? You're not a team player. Hiring practices are in utter disarray, as the criminally understaffed HR cannot get a job offer to a candidate in time for them to accept it. By the time one goes out, they've likely moved on. Red. Tape. Everywhere. Purchasing decisions must go through 8 levels of approval to be made. This is not an exaggeration. Run.

Pros

Getting to work with great people from all different countries. You are given ownership of your work and able to grow your career more quickly, if you can keep up with the fast pace. Ability to work remote is huge.

Cons

Very competitive industry and company is growing so things can change quickly. Fast-paced and dynamic environment is not for everyone. Going through a new growth stage so there are some growing pains.

Pros

There are some decent team members

Cons

Leadership never listens to actual feedback and is lacking in actual leadership capabilities. New leadership has decreased morale. Don't expect to be paid industry average. The more you make the company the less you get paid. Senior leaders are out of touch and manager's can't do anything to actually help the people who do the work.
