Pros

Amazing learning experience and you can make a big impact quickly. Very collaborative culture and growing focus on leadership and development.

Cons

No 401K match. Not surprising that we continue to focus on improving business results and it's clear that this is on Management's radar.

Pros

Good pay and great benefits. Lots of opportunities to work on interesting and important projects, alongside people who are smart and fun.

Cons

Despite some shining stars, management is plain awful across the board. Inconsistent promotion practices, rampant ineptitude, lack of meaningful strategy, and absence of passion from so many who could make such a difference. Distributed offices are wildly out of touch with one another. Rivers of bureaucracy and politics run amok.

Pros

Amazing people Great team spirit Casual dress

Cons

Poor management and the strings were pulled from the US - seemed like they didn't realise EMEA was a separate continent at times. Very tight with budget and would only approve a very small amount for our Christmas party - which as a result we had to have in March. Managers told candidates what they wanted to hear in order to get them in the door. Then when hired, they saw what it was really like and they were only able to work on one small aspect of the platform. Gave more stock to offset basic - stock has dropped from approx $12 to $5 so will definitely low ball at offer stage. Salaries compared to others on the market were very low Broken promises constantly - office move pushed out 3 or 4 times over 1.5 years. Very unclear strategy and management As a result of all of this they had a lot of attrition and lost amazingly talented people.
