Good place to gain experience, poor place to grow

Pros

You are given a lot of autonomy and responsibility. For the most part, the people are great to work with.

Cons

There is absolutely no focus on career growth or development (Ironic for a company that sells this) If you don't "buy-in" to management's way of doing things, you won't last long Management showed a consistent unwillingness to divert from the path and listen to it's employees opinions

Pros

You get the opportunity to travel to Sweden (HQ is there) to meet colleagues and have fun.

Cons

Everyone works in vast, open spaces, crammed next to one another like seamstresses in Bangladeshi shirt factories, only instead of being hunched over sewing machines people are hunched over laptops. NO training. POOR pay. Leadership is a joke, literally there is this guy who is the managing director who likes to tell jokes. the product is a scam.
