Pros

My team was great and I enjoyed working remotely.

Cons

Where do I begin!! Other departments probably had it better but hearing through the grapevine not really! Way too many updates, you can't even do your job effectively with all the constant changes every day! Zero Company culture (they don't care about their employees AT ALL), they care more about the clients than their actual employees that put in the hard work and are underwater with the number of clients we have to manage. To actually say, you are putting the culture on the backend, speaks volumes! The pay sucks!! They bring you in just to turn around and change everything, and will make up a lie in the interview process to get you to join! They don't give promotions or pay increases! Leadership doesn't have an inch of common sense and makes so many changes in a blink of an eye and thinks it's a good thing! I can see all their selfishness and greed will backfire, eventually! I hate I left my last company to come here, at least I was getting paid the same amount and didn't get forced to a pay cut. I went from bad to worse when it comes to companies! All this is doing is pushing me to start my own business and not have to work for careless people like this ever again! No wonder a lot of people are starting their own businesses or leaving companies and getting away from these companies that don't care about YOU!

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
