Pros

Work life balance. Time off

Cons

The performance management is broken. You are rated from 1-5 1 being highest. The first year into the job you will be rated 4-5 even if you are good, If you are spectacular the maximum you get is 3. Next year you can be 3 even if you perform below par. And, f you get promoted the maximum rating you will gt is 3-4 and which is mostly 4 even if you are a high performer. And this is important as you bonus is a component of your rating, and bonus is a big part of your salary.

Great company, but can become a bit suffocating. And a young company.

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of oppotunities and a young feeling company. I got to work in France, USA and Madrid in my role. Some peopel there are very good and there is a collective energy in the office which makes working there a pleasure. There is a lot of fun in the office with a fun budget where every quarter you get a day out paid for by the company (bowling / meal / day out doing something etc)

Cons

Obsessed by soft skills, sometimes forgetting about the core work itelsf. Also some management were promoted, put in management of people positions who were very poor people skills.
