Pros & Cons

  • The work environment is really friendly and welcoming, which makes it easy to feel comfortable to come in as a beginner and learn without being judged.
  • The work-life balance is really good and encouraged, which takes the stress off work in general.
  • It's a great place to start my career because there are a lot of opportunities for growth.
  • The company culture is very inclusive, warm, friendly, and human-oriented.
  • The company is really flexible with work hours and is happy for you to work remotely whenever.
  • Pay is lower than I would like.
  • Expectations can be unclear.
  • Sometimes have to take meetings at inconvenient times due to time zones.
  • Loads of meetings, sometimes not very useful meetings either.
  • Because it is a global company, sometimes we have meetings with people around the world. The timezone difference can be tiring, but it is not happening often.
