Pros

Great work life balance, awesome products and fun people to work with.

Cons

Career development is very low on management priority list. Apart from a few favored folks (typically tong term senior managers) who get promoted every couple of years, the rest of the group is allowed to stagnate, with just enough done to keep attrition levels comfortable.

Pros

The company places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional growth, with clear encouragement for employees to develop their skills over time. There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
