Pros

-The interview process was pretty fast and clear. I always knew what the next steps were after every round. -Team building activities were fun

Cons

-They promote openness and vulnerability, which is great but they're quick to use it against you as soon as you don't live up to expectations. Being yourself meant having multiple facades, -Onboarding was non-existent, it's truly a sink or swim situation. If you try and find solutions your own way they start micromanaging which was very debilitating. -Extremely number driven. This might work for some but if it isn't your thing I recommend you steer far and clear. -Easy to put you down, lying about how other employees perform to "motivate" you. -During the interview they mentioned I had some freedom/ flexibility in my schedule (eg, starting an hour earlier to be able to end the work day an hour early), but sadly this was an illusion. Doing this resulted in back-handed comments about not being productive or eager/ ambitious enough. -Management gave very confusing signals. One moment they say one thing, the next they say the exact opposite. -Apparently wanting something isn't enough, once they made their decision it's final. You can write a whole plan and try your best to also understand from their perspective, but that's all worth jack squat at the end of the day. -They don't see a problem in hiring somebody who barely passes on certain aspects of the assessments to let them go within a short period. At the end of the day you're just a number, producing numbers to them and not a human being. -Apparently it's normal to tell an employee they don't think they'll ever be good in their current role, no matter how hard they try. -If you want a place where you can express your creative ideas, or give your own two cents don't expect that to be a possibility here. You'll only be told that you're sidetracking and need to stay in your lane.
