Pros

Interesting work Good clients Some perks such as dental care etc can be reimbursed. Local teams and managers can be great

Cons

One of the worst responses to the covid crisis by the leadership. Employees being bullied to 'accept' pay cuts rather than being furloughed. No concern for mental health of employees, employees seen as a mass of workers rather than individuals by top leadership and execs.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
