Pros

Salary for someone out of the US is competitive Staff Purchase/Discount incentives are fantastic Colleagues on your level are brilliant The products are interesting but they feel like their always about 6 months to a year behind the curve

Cons

Middle Management are abysmal in regards to response times Feedback is either ignored or criticised by higher ups with no support from your team leaders even if the feedback is initially endorsed by your team leaders For people outside of the US there’s no room for progression or diversity in your role
