Pros

There are some nice people indeed and the HR are trying to make the experience better. If you are likely by the management, you'll have opportunity to also move inside the company or even shift to other roles.

Cons

The emphasis is about doing things fast, even if there is no clue about the details, which eventually leads to blaming wars. There is tons of micro management, and workers are not being appreciated. No serious onboarding, good luck with that, better to have some insider who can help you get through this phase. "Something broke? Not my problem, let others fix it". No ownership!!! Messy technologies, code is also messy and full of patches, it breaks very easily with every little code addition. Mediocre managers who are not fit to be managers. The value from them is low to no value. Bureaucracy is tiring. The experience is like working with people who suppose to be professional but they are actually not, and it's leading to severe burn down.

Pros

US based staff are very helpful and extremely sharp. The Tech works and is very easy to learn.

Cons

Political client is not helping sales. Actual tech is really rebadged from other vendors. Pricing is very difficult to sell. HQ in Tel Aviv; support can take time to respond. I was not comfortable "celebrating" Israel's IDF victories. I felt that I had to applaud or might get in trouble. CEO stating on TV that the First Amendment should be modified. Flying to Europe day before events is exhausting. They do not pay for extra night to acclimate.
