Pros

- uncapped variable pay - opportunity to move roles, countries

Cons

- Terrible managers, the kind that pick favorites based on the number of hours you spend at the office (in covid times, yes), micro managers who understand little about the actual business - Limited opportunity to evolve and contribute with tons of competitions between peers for visibility, promotion and attractive projects - Customer obsession turned into Sales obsession and insane sales growth goals

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
