Pros
1) Some managers do worry about whether you're happy and try to keep you motivated;
Cons
1) Compensation - Salaries are ridiculous. They will pay you miserably with the promise that raises are big and frequent. Don't fall for these lies. I had great performance reviews and got raises but the raises were pathetic. Salaries are low throughout all departments. Many people are just waiting to cash out stock options to then go find a better job. And now that the company is becoming more well known and are more people are wanting to get a job there, they are taking advantage of that to cut the salaries of new hires even further. 2) Career Path - no clear trajectory. No structure within roles. Absent managers. 3) Work environment - this is the worst part in my opinion. Many people behave like they are in kindergarten and senior managers are either clueless or simply do not care This leads to a toxic, back stabbing environment. Racist and homophobic comments are rampant. Some of these comments even come from senior managers. 4) Young and arrogant managers who have no clue about how to manage people. 5) "I'm always busy" type of culture, even if busy checking facebook. Sad old trick - by appearing busy they will be left alone and people will believe they’re doing a great job. 6) The IT team (which is based in Portugal) is slow, frustrating to work with and noncooperative. This leads to constant delays, inability to make plans and frequent technical problems. 7) Bullying behavior unfortunately can and has become a reality.
