Pros

The company provides lots of opportunities for cool experiences at events, retreats, team meetings etc.

Cons

Lots of changes have led to bad morale amongst the workforce. There is a power struggle between HQ in Austria and North American leadership which is stifling growth and innovation. "Flat organization" isn't really flat and there are definitely egos and corporate politics.

Pros

- Plenty of autonomy over work - Great culture, coworkers, and benefits - Generous work-life balance

Cons

- Political environment where the best ideas generally don't win - As the company has grown, it's become more bureacratic and corporate, causing slower internal decision cycles, misaligned incentives between teams, and ultimately a loss in entrepreneurial spirit
