Pros

- smart peers with high goals that make you overpass your limits - benefits package still alright compared to other competitors

Cons

- too many rounds of restructuring (going back and forth to old models that didn’t work in the past) - leadership concentrated in the US leaving EMEA folks out of strategic decisions that have a direct impact on their role progression and responsibilities - unclear compensation for various levels (still quite a bit of gender pay gap within the same departments) - lots of cost cutting and reduction in salaries if you want to remain with them - lots of decisions taken without a proper due diligence process and implications - some departments currently have leaders who are unaware of what their directs are doing on a day to day basis - lots of redundancies across the board from the most tenured individuals who were high performers and the company seems to hire more juniors that are now trained to do the job of 3 professionals - not enough incentives to go above and beyond on a daily basis as targets are unachievable due to the chaotic restructure, leaving folks obtain a very small percentage of their bonus; therefore, lower compensation overall for the year - trying to get rid off majority of remote workers even though they are not client facing

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
