Pros

Beyond has a strong mission, talented employees, and opportunities to work on meaningful projects. I enjoyed collaborating with cross-functional teams and appreciated the chance to contribute to innovative work. The people I worked with were supportive, skilled, and passionate about what they do. I also gained valuable experience and grew professionally during my time here.

Cons

The culture shifted significantly following management changes. There was an increased emphasis on oversight, administrative tracking, and process, which reduced autonomy and trust. As a designer, I found myself spending more time documenting work than focusing on design and creative problem-solving. Unlimited PTO policies felt restrictive in practice, making it difficult to fully disconnect and recharge. Workload distribution at times appeared inconsistent, which could impact morale and growth opportunities. These factors contributed to burnout and ultimately influenced my decision to leave.

Pros

-Open door policy across teams and leadership: every other week you have the opportunity to ask questions anonymously to anyone in the company. -Room for career growth: I have been able to grow in my career from analyst level to manager level. -Opportunity to travel to new cities locally and globally: Beyond has offices in Chicago, San Francisco, Lisbon, and Barcelona -Challenging, but rewarding work: work is fast-paced, so it never gets dull. There are always new initiative and quarterly projects to keep things fresh.

Cons

- None that I can think of
