Pros

- really generous perks & benefits

Cons

- complete disconnect between what they say about the culture and how it actually shows up internally - highly matrixed and HIGHLY political - concentration of power exists within a very small group of people. If you aren't "in"with them, it's impossible to get things done - top management doesn't treat people very well - very harsh criticism, changing priorities, disrespectful, never any positive praise - as a result, that type of behaviour and leadership style is accepted and rewarded across the company - so much gossip! People have no trouble saying horrible things behind your back but never provide you with the feedback to your face

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

Great folks to work alongside. Work-life balance can be good, but depends upon the team/organization you are on.

Cons

Continuous layoffs have led to a poor work culture.
