Pros
- The positive people I met during my time there (all have since left the company) - A lot of cool companies use the product - Market level wages.
Kontras
Where to begin? This company really seemed to have the full package. But slowly, everything began to unravel. Upper management is dodgy and almost seem like they want you to fail. Will give you a job to do with exact specifications, and once you do exactly what they told you they wanted, they will realize they actually prefer something else, will reject it and blame you. Colleagues across offices don't seem to want to work with each other. Everyone seems to want to stick to their timezone and not bother with international co-workers. The time zones sometimes make things messy and I understand that sometimes people are put out by it... but this is business and you need to get over it. Organization within the company is a joke. The company makes an internal communications portal with loads of fantastic organizational features - yet their internal organization is a hack job. Poor use file management, several legacy systems are in place, on-boarding materials are horribly dated, etc etc. And the biggest reason you shouldn't work here: C-level employees and managers seemed to form odd cliques and be at war with one another. I later found out this was for a reason as they later completed ousted their founding CEO in what seemed to be a long-term coup. If the founder of the bloody company isn't valued - why would you be? Certainly a strange time in my life that I do not miss. Which is a shame - because this place could have been great.
