Pros

Very cooperative, helpful team, and people were generally nice. Helping to learn and growth and pretty healthy office environment. My manager was the one who gave a lot of trust even though I had no experience in the beginning, and he was quite open person. Teammates were also quite easy to work with.

Cons

I can't say anything bad, my position was canceled after a merger. It was more of a structural change.

Pros

In previous years solid company and remote work friendly.

Cons

Even before the merger management was getting weaker and there is a lot of confusion. During my last year every morning felt like i was going to pull a chair and watch a train wreck with my hands tied. Many of the upper finance and accounting positions were eventually left open as key people were leaving the company left and right. You will think after the exodus the company will be interested to know why things were happening... that is not the case. The HR team couldn't care less.
