Pros

Excellent pay and benefits. Fully remote. Some nice people within the company. Global company.

Cons

Terrible communication from HR and other important departments. Took them 3 weeks to send me a box to return my laptop. Then a month after I sent it back, they sent me an email claiming they never received my laptop and asked if I needed a box to ship it in (they literally didn't know if they had sent me a box or had even communicated with me). Let me preface this by saying when I was hired on, they knew I only spoke English. Further, there was a very clear divide in treatment for non Israeli employees that are within Israeli departments. Management refused to provide important work documents in English over half the time. Management uninvited American employees from important meetings so they could hold the meeting in Hebrew. They would "sum" the meeting afterwards which was roughly one sentence for every hour the meeting was. Management was constantly late to meetings (20+ minutes) but then would cancel a meeting if you were 3+ minutes late. Management would send pertinent emails in Hebrew and not translate into English. The entire department was behind in metrics that we were graded on but I was the only one who was scolded for being behind. Coworkers would ignore you if you messaged them in English asking for training/help/assistance with a task. When I tried to discuss what I believed was a difference in treatment, I was ignored and told it was my fault. Eventually I formally requested to have training documents and meetings translated into English so I can have the same information as my peers. I was terminated within two days after requesting that. The difference in treatment is draining and miserable. It'll never be worth the money because you'll be treated like a second hand citizen and never respected. Don't be fooled by the pay as you'll have to bend over backwards for the company and still get treated like dirt. Run away.

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
