Pros

Good team, with talented technical people.

Cons

Unrealistic targets so no one reaches their target and gets paid more! No clear direction, just testing random things to see which one works. No growth opportunity. No work/life balance, they intentionally organize calls and meetings outside employees working hours.

Pros

Decent salary, good international travel opportunities, interesting and kind colleagues

Cons

Executive leadership has no vision or appetite to stick to a plan. Despite hiring many people with the experience and skillset to win, leadership routinely ignores advice from within the house, over-commits to half-baked plans, assigns the wrong people to tasks, and then is unwilling to take accountability for continuously failing to deliver anything new.
