Pros

They talk a great game; some of your colleagues will be smart

Cons

Iffy practices around hiring; they gather work samples in interviewing process with no intention of hiring; they then use the candidate solutions as free work to progress projects. Old guard white guy culture

Pros

• Interesting problems can be tackled, in case you get the resources to do so. • Ability to work 100% remotely from almost anywhere in the world. • Travel perks for some roles. • Flexible schedule. • Solid compensation.

Cons

• CEO is well known to be disrespectful, verbally aggressive, and diminishing of the success of teams and people he does not personally like. • Critique is dismissed on all levels and it feels more like a military camp than a company of educated and experienced adults enjoying constructive discussion to come up with the best solutions. • A ridiculous level of micromanagement is strongly encouraged by the CEO/top brass and practiced throughout the company. • Needed resources to solve various issues and advance the teams productivity are extremely hard to get. • Strong preference for robots/task executors, not people, creativity and meaningful contributions. • Uninspiring company-wide meetings running overtime for the sake of platitudes. • Massive lack of authentic leadership and lots of hypocrisy. • Lack of direction. • Tons of politics.
