Pros

- Great coworkers and clients - Really creative work - Good onboarding on HR/benefits and client information - Nice offices and gatherings planned

Cons

- Often working closely with people all over the world which can cause long nights, early mornings, and overall stress/anxiety when half your team is online for 3-4 hours before you - Didn't feel that the job description responsibilities were quite accurate once joining the team - Roles and responsibilities were really loose and unorganized in terms of who does what, level of leadership required for projects, etc

Feedback culture in most areas, hierarchy in others

Pros

Fully remote teams with people that know remote means you can trust your team, or trust them to accept feedback and improve. Respect for work-life balance is strong. From child-care, to illnesses, there's a lot of understanding and empathy. Recent merge is with a company with a very strong focus for diversity and inclusion

Cons

Some areas of the organization have less acceptance of feedback. There's sometimes no curiosity to why something failed, just blame. The above is doubly unfortunate, given that I talk to people on other teams that do not experience this, and indeed, find that they get to own and learn from their mistakes. It is rare to talk to someone that isn't experiencing this at the company.
