Pros

Based on my limited research, appears to pay above market, and has some perks that are less common in the region.

Cons

The company is very much a monoculture, and lacks a lot of diversity (in terms of gender and race). There is often a large difference between the values that it touts, and the expectations that are held. There is a lot of opportunity to make change... but only if you can navigate the various barriers and implicit constraints.

Pros

Remote first culture. If you want freedom of location and a company to truly mean and support it - this is the place.

Cons

Constant change. Nothing to hold on to in this role, compensation, KPI's, tools all change every quarter.

Pros

High comp and AI forward. One of the few remote places left.

Cons

Upper management basically openly disdains the “working class”, and it’s a major jostle among the VP and Director level for currying favor with the CEO. The investment in AI tooling is smart but also the C suite majorly suffers from AI psychosis, it’s embarrassing, actually.
