Pros

The company is expanding quickly so there is lots of growth potential and interest. Really great startup to have on your resume.

Cons

They are really pushing people to go back to office sooner than later even though most companies in the space are moving to a hybrid for fully remote concept. If they do not update the stance on PTO & Remote work they will loose really great talent to other opportunities that offer better work life balance. They also seem to be growing too quickly for their processes and structures to be in a stable place which causes a lot of confusion and frustration for day to day work.

Pros

There are some truly fantastic and talented people in the company who make daily collaboration a great experience. Additionally, the insurance and overall health benefits package is quite strong and comprehensive.

Cons

The work culture is heavily driven by top-down directives from HQ, leaving little room for open discussion, transparency, or questioning management decisions. The bi-yearly rating cycle feels highly punitive and is frequently used to target individuals rather than foster growth, leading to an environment where anyone can be abruptly let go. Work-life balance is virtually non-existent due to tedious, high-volume workloads and constant alignment with overseas timelines. Furthermore, leadership instability is a constant concern; local management changes rapidly, frequently replaced by leaders from the parent company, creating an unpredictable and highly volatile work environment.
