Pros

Remote / flexible working so you can stay at home and avoid facing colleagues IRL.

Cons

Pay is not good enough. Gossipy. Uninspired, lazy culture. People content with a decent salary with zero passion for what they do. Condescending HR who do not know enough about business units yet will try and control career development and lecture you about things they dont begin to understand. Will suck the passion and life out of you, while wasting your potential. Legacy employees unwilling to open to feedback or different perspectives. Not remotely as international and diverse as they claim to be. They mostly outsource work to India because it’s cheaper.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
