Pros

Fast paced, exiting, great clients, the app itself is amazing. Good pay

Cons

There is absolutely no work life balance. Management is fully aware as it’s been brought up in town hall meetings multiple times and there has been no solution. When asked if they’d consider flexible work from home since a majority of employees prefer this, they use buzz words like “synergy” to essentially say they will not consider. It’s very tough to put in long hours for a company that does very little for employee happiness and well being. They think that swag solves everything.

Pros

There are some truly fantastic and talented people in the company who make daily collaboration a great experience. Additionally, the insurance and overall health benefits package is quite strong and comprehensive.

Cons

The work culture is heavily driven by top-down directives from HQ, leaving little room for open discussion, transparency, or questioning management decisions. The bi-yearly rating cycle feels highly punitive and is frequently used to target individuals rather than foster growth, leading to an environment where anyone can be abruptly let go. Work-life balance is virtually non-existent due to tedious, high-volume workloads and constant alignment with overseas timelines. Furthermore, leadership instability is a constant concern; local management changes rapidly, frequently replaced by leaders from the parent company, creating an unpredictable and highly volatile work environment.
