Pros

- I work full time while being a freelancer, so it is such a great way to earn some extra money and use my native language - Pay is overall very fair. I have an hourly rate, but generally there are flat rates per project or I can even request what I would like to make for the specific job

Cons

- Because this is an international environment where you work with people all over the world, you get emails at any time of the day. You will get emails marked "extremely urgent" at 3am, so it can sometimes be a bit stressful as you have to constantly keep up on your emails - Because all communication is via email or via a portal, instructions can sometimes be a bit unclear and confusing, Different people might want things a different way, which can be frustrating at times

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
