Pros

For a time, they had the best and brightest people working for them. It was a place of growth and empowerment.

Cons

They hire people locally under the guise of full time work, but instead they abuse people's talents. They hire someone to do one specific project, then do "layoffs" once the main work is done and pass the completed work to their India teams. They laid off all the best people who were helping to create a thriving and happy work environment, leaving just a clueless leadership who doesn't understand their own business or how to work towards long-term success. With layoffs, they provided the bare minimum. 2 weeks. And they structure employment contracts so you lose bonuses when you leave (i.e. get $ after 1 year, but they let you go before they pay out).

Pros

The team members are great and really believe in the company mission to make positive change for the planet. There is wonderful enthusiasm and a real sense of camaraderie that I think is pretty rare in the corporate world. Leadership encourages authenticity and discourse--a very open minded group that welcomes ideas from all departments/roles. There is a lot of growth happening right now so it's an exciting time but there is also good intent to preserve the culture.

Cons

The company is still in a growth stage which I think is exciting but also means that some processes, policies, etc. are still being established. Definitely a place where you can make an impact but maybe not the best fit for everyone.
