Pros

Had good benefits, but been slowly stripped away... who knows what's actually left of benefits now Good coworkers too but most got laid off

Cons

Low salary, very non-competitive. Really terrible executive management. Doesn't respect middle management or lower at all. Constantly contradicts themself in their decisions and logic, so it's hard to keep up. Only cares about the bottom line and it's turned into a mini-Nestle company, which doesn't work -you can't take a large corporations processes and ideas and apply directly to a much smaller company and culture and expect things to just work. The dynamic is completely different and upper management refuses to acknowledge or understand this.

Pros

The US subsidiary is relatively small, which creates a close-knit environment where you really get to know your colleagues. One of the standout aspects is how approachable and receptive the General Manager and Leadership Team are; they genuinely welcome input and are responsive to employee concerns. The workplace culture is highly collaborative, more so than in other companies I've worked for, and there is a strong sense of shared purpose. The work itself is meaningful, and there is a real sense of pride in the product. A bonus is the hybrid work schedule, especially at a time when many companies are moving aware from this flexibility. Overall, it is a supportive and engaging place to work.

Cons

Many employees are remote so the only con is not being able to see them in person as often as employees working out of Headquarters.
