Pros

Coworkers are very intelligent and fun; free food; great place to use and improve regional knowledge; get professional development money to expand skill set (though could be more)

Cons

The company tries to compensate you with food and kumbaya activities, but this sort of thing only works if employees are already taken care of in ways that matter: money and promotions. The department is shamelessly greedy when it comes to raises, and promotions are based on favoritism, with absolutely no attention being paid to past leadership experience. Also, advancement opportunities are slim to none, despite the fake review HR just posted (no one here talks like that). The company makes money thanks solely to the work domain experts do, yet management rarely makes decisions that improve DE workflow or make DEs happy. The new bro culture is hurting the department, as the domain expert role should be filled by individuals with, above all, excellent language skills, which recent bro hires absolutely do not have.

Pros

Interesting product we have access to use.

Cons

The biggest challenge has been the lack of consistency in strategy and leadership turnover, which makes it difficult for teams to build momentum and execute. Constant shifts in priorities create confusion and are frustrating. No transparency. The company is struggling to keep pace with competitors in terms of product innovation. Many teams feel they are spending too much time reacting to changes rather than building forward momentum. Too many time wasting meetings where everyone is camera off.
