Pros

My colleagues and direct manager were wonderful and supportive. Unlimited vacation is nice. Remote work environment is a plus.

Cons

Leadership at the executive level is abysmal with no transparency, vague direction and self-aggrandizing speeches filled with doublespeak and gobbledygook. One quarter they'll boast about record profits, the next quarter they'll commend their double-digit growth, then the next quarter they'll lay off 60 people - many of whom contributed significantly to their success. The organization calls it "macroeconomic weaknesses", when really it's systemic failures in leadership. When it's going well, they'll bask and take credit; when it's not, they'll scapegoat their employees. Career growth is heavily stifled. Pay is not competitive and it was not uncommon to speak to colleagues who have not received a promotion or pay increase in years. Your years of service and dedication to your job mean nothing to this organization.

Because of the pandemic we’re all remote and one has to remember time zones are different when scheduling meetings
