Pros

- Good benefits + decent salary

Cons

- Low calibre of coworkers and people managers - ByteStyles are just for show. Leadership does not walk the talk. - Diversity and inclusion, say wut? - HR is an absolute mess. - Transparency does not exist. - Leaders are only interested in numbers/growth, no flying farts given to establishing proper processes and investing in culture. Mindlessly adding people cos go big or go home right?

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Brand partnerships manager

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to say you work in big tech.

Cons

There’s no such thing as work life balance here. You will work past 6 pm everyday and sometimes weekends. There’s no flexibility with work locations even with mandatory WFH. I would avoid at all costs. Leadership is extremely out of touch and VERY untransparent.
