Pros

Decent base but low compared to others in industry

Cons

Really bad management - so many changes and yet pay staff lower. Hierachy based - APJ has so many changes and it seems very colour based hiring now. Current VP very toxic trying to bring back his older staff and made it unbearable to work - Good riddance of this company

Pros

Competitive pay, but very rarely worth it for the amount of work given.

Cons

In my experience, this was the least effectively run organization I’ve worked for. Core internal processes were inconsistent and frequently changed without clear ownership, which made planning and execution unnecessarily difficult. Decision-making authority was often unclear, and accountability for outcomes was limited. Several managers appeared under-empowered or insufficiently experienced for the scope of their roles, resulting in unresolved issues and shifting priorities. The culture felt highly political, with visibility and internal alignment sometimes taking precedence over delivery. Informal cliques appeared to thrive, which made collaboration and transparency harder than it should be. Suggestions for improving processes or addressing recurring issues did not gain traction and were perceived negatively, creating an environment where initiative felt risky rather than supported. I experienced the workplace as toxic, with low trust, limited psychological safety, and conflict frequently handled through escalation or avoidance rather than resolution. HR structures were not effective at addressing concerns or providing a neutral escalation path. Senior leadership frequently emphasized a unified company culture; however, in practice different parts of the organization operated with noticeably different norms and priorities, with limited integration into a cohesive whole. Overall, the environment did not support high-trust, high-accountability work, and sustained progress was difficult despite the efforts of some capable individuals.
