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.

Pros

Above market salary for US employees, yearly company retreat in Europe, ability to grow quickly in a fast-paced environment

Cons

Layoffs happen frequently, turnover rate is abysmal. Boys club. Beware. Barely any diversity/support for women trying to grow in their career. Corporate politics.
