Business Outlook

Pros

Great onboarding, support, people are nice, tem leads are cool, bonuses, great healt care insurance, multicultural and diverse workplace.

Cons

It can be very difficult to move forward, forexample from a Sales support job. From Junior to Senior you can grow in 2-3 years. Getting a new position is rare, usually due to working here for longer time or team changes for budgeting reasons. (firing is rare, but they only hire people who re suitable and share the same values as the company.)

Business Outlook

Pros

The salary and perks aren't too bad.

Cons

1. No culture for people development and learning. Managers themselves aren't showing the way themselves in continuously developing themselves through mentoring and being curious about people as human beings beyond what they can do at work. HR is disconnected with what's happening on the ground and they don't do anything to enable and shift things to create a great workplace environment. 2. Incentives not designed to drive collaboration and cross-team collaboration Given these, it's a great place to stay for 1-2 years, learn what you can and leave.
