Pros

International Office Location Global Customer list With the turnover, there are lots of senior roles available

Cons

This company is completely messed up. While people with direct customer contact are having to cancel vacations to help customers others are able to take 2-3 weeks without blinking an eye. Jack and Jills get promoted to roles and never have to deliver anything that will help the company reach revenue or customer satisfaction targets before they move to a new role, or go on an extra long vacation which they flaunt while others cancel theirs for the good of the company. Not to mention title inflation for political savvy individuals. They are also good at building random teams which confuse the customer and don't add value

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
