Pros

The benefits are just average: health insurance, dental insurance, cycle to work scheme, lunch and snacks, paid sick leave.

Cons

No job-level framework is available, so if you are hoping to grow in this company, just forget it. Promotions, job level adjustments, salary adjustments, and pay raises are assigned merely on how much of a bootlicker you are. Because if you dare complain or ask for an explanation you will be censored and accused of bringing negativity to the team (true story). RTO increased to 3 days a week and is likely to increase even more shortly. Micromanagement at its finest: with office attendance trackers. for example. They just retired the gym reimbursement, replacing it with a list of partner gyms (and no, none of them are in your neighbourhood, in case you were wondering). Toxic environment: lack of communication, lack of trust, total absence of employee growth, gaslighting, team building budget managed by one person (and nobody knows for what it is being spent), team burnout, disengagement, high turnover.

Pros

There are some truly fantastic and talented people in the company who make daily collaboration a great experience. Additionally, the insurance and overall health benefits package is quite strong and comprehensive.

Cons

The work culture is heavily driven by top-down directives from HQ, leaving little room for open discussion, transparency, or questioning management decisions. The bi-yearly rating cycle feels highly punitive and is frequently used to target individuals rather than foster growth, leading to an environment where anyone can be abruptly let go. Work-life balance is virtually non-existent due to tedious, high-volume workloads and constant alignment with overseas timelines. Furthermore, leadership instability is a constant concern; local management changes rapidly, frequently replaced by leaders from the parent company, creating an unpredictable and highly volatile work environment.
