Pros

Good pay and working remote

Cons

Worst mistake in my life was accepting their job offer. Fake leadership. Incompetent managers. No culture at all. Start up hell. You work with a team that doesn’t know how to do things. Ask someone from another team for help, and they don’t help you. Ask for help who’s outsourced from another country or from the prior company, and the frustration without any help continues. In larger meetings, they’ll sugar coat everything and inflate numbers, and say everything is great. Don’t fall for it. Bad customer reviews everywhere. Hard to feel a sense of pride when customers hate this company. Stay away and look elsewhere. Avoid working here. If you get a job offer, don’t accept it; you’ll be grateful.
