      Pros

      Option to work from home. Vacation days can be taken flexibly. Working hours can also be flexible at times .

      Cons

      High workload. Very high staff turnover. Little room for career progression and it is more about who you know rather than your work performance. Benefits are not good compared with other comparable size companies.

      Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

      Pros

      Great team up to director level. Good place to start career, however not many open positions in US

      Cons

      Contracts are often unclear not including all needed services, leading to financial overburn. The company relies on multiple tracking systems, creating inefficiencies and frustrations for employees, and prioritizes hiring in low-cost regions, which are known for high employee turnover.
