      Excellent place to work and grow professionally

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Working with extremely smart and humble people - Solving challenging and creative problems - Having much autonomy to work on various projects, minimal micromanagement - The environment is meritocratic and entrepreneurial - Very competitive compensation and benefits - Relatively flat and approachable organizational structure - True global company (with 26 offices in 15 countries and counting), promoting inter-office communications, sharing ideas, learning from various cultures and perspectives, etc - Turnover was very low since I joined , which is great (I assume that some reviews refer to pre-2014 WQ, which is very different place to work now from what I can observe)

      Cons

      - Nothing major. A minor thing, but probably more emphasis could be put into providing healthy snacks, etc.

      Performance and Pressure.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You will get the opportunity if you prove your value. And this company provides you the chance to show your real potential. No time consuming bureaucracy. Fast decision making. More about numbers than politics, making high level of fairness. Performance sensitive positions are constantly fired, but that is not uncommon in this business.

      Cons

      Relatively low compensation compared to similar places. Too frequent changes on company policies. Constant pressure. Minimal cooperation. Less learning opportunities (conference, etc).
