Pros

You can work remotely from anywhere.

Cons

-Every employee is sick and tired of what they call deel speed, that is basically accomplish the task immediately doesn't matter if you have a life, family, hobbies or whatever, meet the crazy deadline and forget about the rest. -Interesting that they make the employees after the company introduction and the initial orientation day to register here the comment of how it's everything going. So most of the posts here are from employees starting on the company. It's a completely different view after 6 months. -The tenure of the employees within the company it's 6 months. Data shared by HR. -If you want to experience a real Burnout this is a good place. -No Christmas bonus, no bonuses at all, no raises, no health insurance. Just a monthly salary and that's all. You are a contractor with any benefits that can be disposed easily anytime. All the comments that mention no job security are 100% accurate.

Pros

- Fully remote - Mostly nice and talented people, you can learn a bunch and the atmosphere is good in the beginning - Once you realize you're not ever getting a raise you can get by doing bare minimum - You can write the ceo on slack and he will respond, which is actually insane considering its such a huge company

Cons

- Everyone is underpaid, even the senior directors. They present employee equity as extra compensation, but make it very difficult to sell shares at secondaries. - Raise/promotion policies are set up in a way where most ppl will never get it. I've seen superstar employees get 2% annual raise. The rest got 1%. - Pay is localized, so you can do the same exact job but get pay half of the compensation if you're not based in the US. - It's either employee contract for less money, and you have some employee rights given to you by your country, or more money but you're getting misclassified on a b2b contract and using vaction days when you get sick. The actual work requirements and responsibilities are the same in both cases. - If you're not drinking the koolaid you better fall in line and keep any opinions challenging the status quo to yourself - Manager can get pretty manipulative, they'll say anything to appease you, but will not act in your interest unless it aligns with their internal politics play
