Pros

Free coffee, great people in CX to work with, awesome offices but that’s about it.

Cons

Having worked here for a couple of years, the new CEO has significantly changed the working culture. Upper management seems more focused on numbers than on the well-being of the Customer Experience (CX) team. This shift has created a toxic environment where team leaders frequently pressure staff without consideration for their feelings. It’s heartbreaking knowing the company you aspired to work for since high school, turns out that it is your typical “Silicon Valley” organisations.

Pros

The team is super smart and everyone knows their stuff well. If you see an opportunity, you can take it and do it. Flat structure, less authority means you can experiment and do as much as you want.

Cons

There's not much of an onboarding, so you have to figure things out. It can feel very sink or swim. Also, you have to work across many different time zones as well, because the team is global. Also, people have very short fuses if you don't pick things up quickly or not as smart as them.
