Pros

Some decent mid manager and director level.

Cons

I have worked for a variety of organizations throughout my career, but this company stands out as the most dysfunctional and demoralizing environment I’ve encountered. Leadership operates through intimidation rather than inspiration, and public humiliation of employees during meetings and internal forums has become an unfortunate norm. The organization functions as a collection of fragmented entities rather than a cohesive business, resulting in disorganized communication and conflicting priorities. Expectations are wholly unreasonable. Employees based outside the U.S. are routinely expected to work late into the night and early morning, while U.S.-based staff are required to attend early-morning meetings and extend their workdays well beyond normal hours, including weekends. There is no semblance of work-life balance, and burnout is practically inevitable. The culture is toxic, the leadership style regressive, and the overall environment corrosive to morale and personal well-being. I strongly advise prospective candidates to look elsewhere.

Pros

Really solid people across teams,smart, collaborative, and generally good to work with day to day.

Cons

Pay is below market and doesn’t keep up with inflation. Bonuses are routinely late (currently about 2 months behind) with zero transparency on when or if they’ll land. Leadership communication is basically nonexistent unless something’s already gone wrong, so most people are left guessing. Merit increases are weak to the point of being meaningless. There’s a lot of talk about “doing better” and “investing in people,” but in reality it’s more work, fewer people, and layoffs. Development leadership in particular feels pretty tone deaf. Expectations are consistently unrealistic, priorities shift without context, and there’s little awareness of what teams can actually deliver. It doesn’t feel like employees are the priority, decisions are clearly driven by the bottom line, not the people doing the work.
