Pros

Strong work–life balance with flexibility for global collaboration. Competitive overall package, including salary and benefits. Presence of some truly inspirational leaders who elevate the bar.

Cons

Currently weak or even slightly toxic culture in some areas. Constant reorganizations and lay‑offs that create uncertainty and stress. Lack of clear, stable priorities, leading to frequent shifts in focus. Operating model is not well defined, which slows decisions and execution.

Pros

Team members were wonderful, very talented and easy to work with. This was a new team being created and we all worked really hard to help

Cons

Promoting inexperienced people to positions they're not ready for, causing poor team morale and toxic work environment. Severe gap in senior leadership being held accountable for poor management, even with constant feedback from the whole team expressing their frustrations and concerns.
