Pros

Great teammates Travel Decent pay

Cons

CEO-Centric Chaos with Zero Accountability. Spineless managers who walk on eggshells around him. Most employees are contractors with no work rights and tax support. Pay/retention is dependent on an illogical and unfair bi-annual peer review. Everyone is constantly cribbing about the processes and each other. No Sales Focus- being run like a siloed legacy business and the competition is eating ’em alive. No HR to go to for help.

Pros

Met some interesting people, had some interesting conversations.

Cons

Was constantly hearing bad stories about upper management. I only experienced the CEO expressing minor annoyance and paranoia a couple of times. My line manager always seemed to be treading water, fixated on dev-ops ceremonies, and didn't respect the opinions of his peers. The guy who was the "expert" for my field practised management by spreadsheet and was completely out of his depth, always obsessing about his approach to the work and inflicting his opinion on everyone else. Spent too much time having to plan for travel or hear about everyone's travel plans. Wasted so much time in the company's ongoing recruitment drive which pushes most of the work of interviewing and filtering candidates onto regular employees.
