Pros

Platform seems decent and the pay was quite good

Cons

The first thing that springs to mind is an utter lack of respect for you as an individual - very much in accordance with the 'hire and fire' attitude adopted by this company. Six employees from the same office were let go in one day, it was handled without respect or sensitivity. Two individuals (who weren't in the office at the time) were called up and informed that they were the weakest performing member in the team and were therefor being terminated - leading them to believe that they were the only one to have been let go. This 'executive decision' was counteract some serious economic failures, having realised too late, that they were growing at an unsustainable pace and needed to make cutbacks. This was not the honesty that they deemed us worthy of. Our team was mislead for 5 whole months with regards to our expectations and performances - ensuring that we were on track and not to be concerned about improving anything - no substantial or beneficial feedback was provided. Progression was constantly emphasised, but has not been demonstrated and was not fulfilled. To be blunt - don't make promises you can't keep. The office atmosphere is quiet and uncomfortable and also incredibly exclusive and 'cliquey' depending on which department you were in.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
