Pros

- Some really great smart people to be worked with - Decent benefits - Flexible work schedule - Good Salary

Cons

- Constantly changing strategy, and missing targets because of it. Big push to switch to "Enterprise," when the product/company is not ready. - They preach values of openness, but the management teams are not transparent and don't listen to employee feedback - RTO policy - The job I was sold in the interview process was not the reality when I started - No ability for career progression in the foreseeable future.

Pros

Decent salary, good international travel opportunities, interesting and kind colleagues

Cons

Executive leadership has no vision or appetite to stick to a plan. Despite hiring many people with the experience and skillset to win, leadership routinely ignores advice from within the house, over-commits to half-baked plans, assigns the wrong people to tasks, and then is unwilling to take accountability for continuously failing to deliver anything new.
