Pros

I loved my team. I worked with some great people who really cared about the company and mission and gave it their all every day…even beyond working hours.

Cons

Upper management turned out to be micromanagers which eroded confidence that my team had for me. My work, even every word I said was picked apart and put down, even if it couldn’t be proven wrong. If it came from someone else it was accepted. I had to quit too soon for my mental sanity. Employees were also overworked and expected to put in many weekends and after hours on a consistent basis.

Pros

Unlimited vacation is a perk.

Cons

The company has serious cultural and leadership issues, particularly around accountability for inappropriate conduct. There have been significant concerns regarding a senior global employee’s behavior, including inappropriate sexual relationships with employees across multiple countries and concerns about misuse of position, influence, and company resources to support his behavior. The fact that these concerns were reportedly allowed to continue raises serious questions about the company’s commitment to "safety". Reporting concerns to HR was not viewed as an effective solution. A workplace cannot maintain trust when employees believe power and position can shield predatory behavior. Employees should also be aware that compensation expectations may not align with reality. Bonuses that employees work toward throughout the year will not be paid out as expected, and communication around these decisions has been unclear and last minute. Overall, leadership has appeared disorganized, unqualified, inconsistent, and lacking direction.
