Pros

1) flexible 2) exceptional growth opportunities for early and mid career

Cons

1) nearly everyone hits a growth crai long and its nearly impossible to break through, especially if you want to maintain a work life balance 2) we’ve been in near constant change for years with no end in sight 3) good leadership hasn’t scaled up along with the growth of the business. The few good leaders are far outmatched by their demands 4). This is an extremely bureaucratic organization with mid and low managers having little to no autonomy - nearly all actions require some level of approval and what little autonomy you have is one honest mistake away from becoming history.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
