Pros

Good vibes and environment. Depends on your role, you can feel like you make an impact on customers. Good insurances/pension plans etc.

Cons

Awful salaries. Been here for 3 years without a single raise to my base salary despite performing excellently. First year provided me with 5% in a 1-year RSU vesting, second year was none, third year was 6% in a 1-year RSU vesting. First 2 bonuses were subpar (36% and 21% of monthly pay respectively) and the latest one was 80% - which is only 6.5% of my annual salary. They also cheap out on hardware even if it very clearly handicaps you and makes you work much slower than you're supposed to. They heavily cheap out on food related benefits. The new CEO, Nadav, is taking the company to a terrible place.

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
