Pros

- Flexible - Travel Opportunities - Hybrid Model

Cons

If you have another offer, I would suggest go there. This company is undergoing frequent changes and reorganizations. They are currently in the middle of another one. - High turnover: Many employees are pushed out or resign due to constant leadership changes. - Resistance to change: The company refuses to modernize and blocks rebranding efforts. - One size fits all: Every region must operate the same, including providing brokers with incorrect or incomplete materials in an effort to keep it global - Disorganized structure with poor long-term vision and strategy. - Communication is consistently poor across all departments. - Constant budget cuts and slow processes. - Training is inadequate, especially since the training team has left. - Insufficient support: Teams lack the tools and resources to do their jobs, an issue ignored for years. - Some managers are in different countries with large time differences and are not trained on local policies, causing delays or problems that fall on employees. - Management is reactive: Ideas are rarely listened to until a problem escalates. - Employee concerns are often only addressed to minimize company risk, rather than solving root problems. Once they detect there is no risk, the concern is ignored or minimized. - Most new ideas are rejected outright. - Sick leave policy exists but is penalized; managers may expect employees to work during recovery days. - Problems are rarely addressed at their root; issues are treated superficially. - Heavy workloads - Unclear communication about structure - Lack of clear, specific feedback - Projects from upper management don't have ultimate follow through or meet deadlines.
