Pros

Fast paced, exciting and fun work, no day is the same. Lots of opportunity to start something new. Innovation and creativity is valued.

Cons

High expectations & high pressure. Expect to work beyond your 9-6, but if you're in the right role, it's not too bad. Super flat organization so not much room to move up in the company in a way that would include a title change.

Pros

There are some truly fantastic and talented people in the company who make daily collaboration a great experience. Additionally, the insurance and overall health benefits package is quite strong and comprehensive.

Cons

The work culture is heavily driven by top-down directives from HQ, leaving little room for open discussion, transparency, or questioning management decisions. The bi-yearly rating cycle feels highly punitive and is frequently used to target individuals rather than foster growth, leading to an environment where anyone can be abruptly let go. Work-life balance is virtually non-existent due to tedious, high-volume workloads and constant alignment with overseas timelines. Furthermore, leadership instability is a constant concern; local management changes rapidly, frequently replaced by leaders from the parent company, creating an unpredictable and highly volatile work environment.
