      Pros

      There are plenty of amazing people here. Could be a good opportunity depending on what you're trying to accomplish.

      Cons

      Trying to sell a platform of all separate products. Continuously acquiring companies without taking the time for proper integration of anything. Inconsistent career progression. Constantly restructuring which hinders a lot of customer relationships and makes everything more confusing. They only show appreciation for employees directly related to revenue. Very much a mindset of if someone from the executive team says to do something, it must be done, even if it's a complete waste of time. Very little rational logic to decision making and no accountability. Understaffed, underresourced, etc etc etc.

      Pros

      - People are amazing. Everyone has a positive, kind, straightforward attitude, and your colleagues are all very talented and invested in their roles. - Very transparent, honest, and direct corporate culture. No politics, no b*llsh*t, everyone is friendly and happy to help. Honestly, my respect to HR, this truly impresses me every day. - Management is friendly and positive, always trying to improve things, always supporting career progression and encouraging work/life balance. - Great responsibilities from day 1, really encouraged to take initiatives, speak up, and participate beyond your role, but also excellent and continuous training/coaching. - Get to have deep, strategic conversations with C-level executives daily. - Great product and customer teams, so you really feel like you're helping your clients, making a difference, and having a tangible impact. Very rewarding. - Great hours, great pay, great benefits. - Most importantly, the vision of the company, the strategic direction it is taking, and its ambition are amazing. So many companies call themselves a 'rocket ship': Galvanize really is one.

      Cons

      No real cons honestly, just some things to keep in mind: - The constant aggressive growth means that things change a lot and very quickly, must be flexible and adapt constantly. - Sometimes the targets may be a bit disconnected from reality, but you can always discuss this with your manager if needed. - Company was historically fairly centered on North America, so sometimes can feel a bit left out in EMEA, but that's changing.
