Pros

1.) A great product 2.) Great Culture 3.) You can Work from Home 4.) Kitchen with free food

Cons

If you join as a Product Support Analyst - 1.) NON TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT - The management (leadership) is not technical at all, they are just for man-management, so they do not know what's going on, they just want to set up new processes every time without knowing the underlying cause. 2.) EXTREME PRESSURE - Too much pressure, less time to work on the actual needed stuff. 3.) CALL-CENTER JOB - Feels like a call-center job, where you have to call the users every time. The management needs to understand that this is not a call-center job. 4.) MICRO-MANAGEMENT - The managers will micro-manage you every time, whatever you do, they will micro-manage you. They just want you to work 24*7 for them without doing anything else. 5.) NO INCENTIVES - The management wants you to work extra hours out of your shift and there are literally no incentives. You'll just get a slice of pizza for the hard work. No other incentives apart from that. 6.) NO CAREER GROWTH - There are people in the team who have been working in the same position for 2-3 years without any growth. The management needs to understand that growth is important for people else they will eventually start leaving the company.

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
