Pros

Good talented people working hard to make a difference.

Cons

A huge gap between regular and contractor employees, open discrimination. Really a shame for such a big and known company. Contractors work like slaves staying extra hours, while regular employees are working relaxed on-time, delegating all hard tasks on contractors. Racist comments and jokes in the Spanish office. Dramatic difference in salaries too. Management is weak and not competent, not taking responsibilities and delegating them on their employees. Nobody is responsible for anything. Chaos in the organization and lack of good establish rules, equal for everybody in the company. Lack of equality.

Pros

The company culture is great. Super flexible, remote work culture and tons of different areas or career paths to pivot into. International company with offices in 180 different countries. Loads of diversity.

Cons

Many teams can be international, so timezones will conflict a lot and make it much harder to work with people who are overseas as they are logging off as you are getting on. This also causes communication issues as sometimes there can be language barriers.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
