Pros

- The company fosters a horizontal culture that emphasizes mutual respect and diversity. - There is a good balance between remote and in-office work, and annual leave is generally easy to use. - Overall, it is an environment where you can work without excessive stress regarding interpersonal relationships.

Cons

- Even as you gain tenure, it often feels like compensation remains stagnant. - There is a clear limitation to career growth, and there is a significant gap in promotion and job transfer opportunities between the headquarters and the local office.

Pros

People are great, I have created amazing connections and friendships along the way. Fun work environment we work hard but are able to play harder. Global reach, often connecting with people around the world.

Cons

Not much mobility and constant change. Hard to be stable in that kind of environment. Many times the plan is not fully complete before expecting execution and very siloed creating duplication of effort and work.
