Pros

Remote work Good Tech (e.g. MacBook etc)

Cons

Incredibly toxic leadership team and management layer, a Finnish boys club. Lacks professionalism and confidentiality, yet lacks transparency when required. Cliquey and unruly.

Pros

Decent salary, good international travel opportunities, interesting and kind colleagues

Cons

Executive leadership has no vision or appetite to stick to a plan. Despite hiring many people with the experience and skillset to win, leadership routinely ignores advice from within the house, over-commits to half-baked plans, assigns the wrong people to tasks, and then is unwilling to take accountability for continuously failing to deliver anything new.
