Pros

Work life balance and benefits were ok. PTO was awesome 3 weeks starting out.

Cons

EVERYTHING. management was awful and lacking. NO proper training. Sponsors were demanding and no real deadlines set until right before they're due. EU/APAC CTAs did nothing to help the US CTA or studies. NO career advancement for 1+ years (closer to 2)

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

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.
