Pros

Good people work here and typically new items to work on every day.

Cons

Frustrating career ladder where there is little movement and merit increases are restricted due to others compensation around you. Collectively minimal raises and promotions unless you fall in top 5-10% of your global groups performance. Salary bumps typically determined by time brackets rather than performance.

Pros

Great collaborative culture where teams genuinely support each other and leadership encourages cross-functional partnership. There are strong opportunities to build on existing skills while also expanding both depth and breadth of experience through new projects, stretch assignments, and exposure to different areas of the business. It’s a place where continuous learning and professional growth are valued.

Cons

The environment is fast-paced given how fast we are growing, which creates strong learning and growth opportunities, though it may require employees to adapt quickly and manage multiple priorities at times.
