Pros

Work with very smart people with integrity. High quality work. Great clients. Flexible work/life balance - doesn't really matter when/where you work as long as you get the work done.

Cons

The company really only cares about maximizing value for shareholders. For example, the CEO made 38 million last year, whereas they didn't even give a cost of living increase to the staff so in relative terms everyone else got a pay cut. Even when teams exceed targets this is not reflected in bonus'/payrises/rewards.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
