Pros

Fantastic career progression and opportunities to move across the company into different teams or regions. Great leadership who know where the company is going, are completely transparent and truly care about a work life balance for their teams.

Cons

Employer brand needs to be worked on as this is a great and fun company to work and I don't think it is communicated enough to people outside LinkedIn

Business Outlook

Pros

Culture is warm and inviting, open door policy at every level. Most employees have been here less than one year so everyone is welcoming of the new kid on the block.

Cons

Growing at a fast pace, new hires try to insert themselves and prove their value sometime screwing up the current process unnecessarily. Excessive emails and meetings.
