Pros

Flexible work hours - no one is managing exactly what hours in the day you're working as long as you get the job done Social work environment - most colleagues are friendly and I've met some really great people here

Cons

Mundane work - work gets really repetitive and boring. After my first year, there was barely anything I worked on that I enjoyed. Workload - You are expected to work A LOT during busy season (which feels like half the year) and even when its not busy season there is still lots of work so it doesn't really balance out. I believe this is one of the reasons there is pretty high turnover at the junior and mid-levels. Management does not do a good job of hiring enough staff to help with workload. It feels like we are understaffed most of the time. Very likely you will get burnt out. I do not recommend working here if you want a great work/life balance.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
