Pros

The pay is competitive, and depending on your location, it might be challenging to find similar opportunities elsewhere.

Cons

The title sums it up: merging three elements in the worst possible way. Communication has been terrible from the start. Perks that represented 10-15% of annual compensation were cut, alongside drastic changes to work flexibility and PTO policies. Adding insult to injury, employees were told they "might be overcompensated," which shows how much people are valued. After a year since the merger was announced, there’s still a lack of clarity and many unresolved issues. One of the most shocking examples is the misalignment of seniority levels across the three companies. This has left employees in awkward situations: some individuals with limited resources or leadership experience are tasked with leading teams, while others with higher expertise and qualifications are stuck with few opportunities to grow. The merger has also created a fractured organization with three distinct cultures, policies, and ways of working. Instead of bringing teams together, it has fostered chaos and division. Collaboration is practically nonexistent, with friction and attrition between groups becoming the norm. Managers are left to lead demotivated teams without any influence over the broader situation. The metaphor of "water, oxygen, and the machine" is fitting: independently, they work fine, but together, they accelerate breakdowns.

Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback, and apologies for the delay in responding. We recognize that the post-merger experience hasn’t met expectations, and we’re sorry for the confusion, frustration, and lack of clarity it’s caused. As we are approaching 1.5 years since merge, we hope much of this has settled. From cultural misalignment to changes in policies and communication gaps, your concerns are valid and taken seriously. We’re actively working to improve cross-team collaboration, leadership consistency, and how we support all employees through any ongoing change. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.

Pros

- Flexible schedule - Stock options - Potential for a long career path - Hybrid work from home/office - Good work environment

Cons

- Only one annual review; you can end up stuck for many months in a position that doesn’t match you, with no possibility of change. - Zero transparency regarding salaries. - Benefits are not the same across all offices, with differences of up to 10 extra vacation days between countries with similar labor laws.
