Spare yourself, avoid this place

Pros

- benefits are reasonable, food is decent if you’re at the big offices - some flexibility with work hours for some teams

Cons

- pay is not great compared to other big tech (while they act like they are big tech) - teams outside of APAC get steamrolled by CN leadership decisions. They do not take other markets into consideration. - forcing people to go into the office - lack of diversity in leadership roles - hours are all over the place, sometimes you will have calls at midnight and then also have 5am calls within the same day

Pros

Good working environment. Very competitive in terms of performance which pushes us to do better.

Cons

It’s too KPI-centric that it feels somewhat robotic with no human touch/empathy.
