Pros

my team was very young, helpful and easy to talk to, opportunities to travel, casual workspace, insights into an interesting industry.

Cons

micromanagement by all levels of management, unclear and different messages given by different levels of management, forced to use private cell phone and laptop (+internet) for company work, inflexible work times, poor salary negotiation, very low base salary, unclear how to reach bonus payments (initial bonuses are actually a group effort), no adaptation to local market, huge amounts of cold calling, huge amounts of time spent printing/stuffing envelopes

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
