Pros

Amazing product Fast growth and strong strategy creating great opportunities Good salary and advantages. Good work life balance on my side

Cons

People level and capabilities varies a lot. Some of the greatest managers I ever had, and some of the worst. HR strategy and development plans are inexistant, you need to build your career yourself. Some internal transfers are really badly managed

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.
