Pros

Good company and it’s growing, and my rate of company is 4/5

Cons

This depends on the team you’re in. And my experience in team was very bad and unfortunately I had to leave the organisation.

Supportive culture

Pros

Great company culture with genuinely supportive and respectful leadership. Strong “startup” energy where ideas are welcomed and employee feedback is actually taken seriously. Leadership is approachable and transparent, which makes a big difference day-to-day. There’s a strong sense that the company truly cares about its employees’ well-being and growth. Compensation is competitive, and there’s a good overall work-life balance, especially for a fast-paced environment. Remote flexibility is also a huge plus.

Cons

At times, the workload can be demanding and require longer hours, which comes with the fast-paced, growing environment. However, this is usually balanced out by the flexibility and supportive team culture. Lengthy/Intense interview process but worth the effort if you get hired.
