Pros

The people - my coworkers and customers were great. Remote work. Flexible working hours. Was great under Steve Vamos as CEO.

Cons

My team's focus and goals shifted significantly and repeatedly over my time there, including taking on responsibilities well outside of outlined job description. The new leadership is only concerned with watching the green line go up and they'll sacrifice the workers on the altar of capitalism in their efforts to appease the market gods. They'll do it with a smile on their face and say how hard it is for them too during a company-wide announcement while we all know full well their jobs aren't on the chopping block. Is now awful under Sukhinder Singh Cassidy as CEO.

Pros

The team is super smart and everyone knows their stuff well. If you see an opportunity, you can take it and do it. Flat structure, less authority means you can experiment and do as much as you want.

Cons

There's not much of an onboarding, so you have to figure things out. It can feel very sink or swim. Also, you have to work across many different time zones as well, because the team is global. Also, people have very short fuses if you don't pick things up quickly or not as smart as them.
