Pros

There are some really intelligent and cool people. There is some really interesting work to do and things to learn and the app is really cool.

Cons

Zero care for you as a human. Calls all hours of the day you're expected to join 12pm one night, 8am the next morning, no one cares about your boundaries. No transparency between HR and employees on bonus cycle. Little to no recognition for contributions, very hierarchal so managers just take your work and present it for you and you maybe get a cryptic note back about what's wrong.

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.
