Pros

- They'll probably hire you - Lots of vacation (which you can't use) - Some great people, but a lot of terrible people too - Benefits are legitimately generous

Cons

The woman who did my onboarding called people who wrote negative reviews on Glassdoor "toxic" "like a cancer" that needed to be removed. Good luck changing that culture! That's when I first knew I made a terrible mistake. - Good luck finding anyone to hire you with this experience - Inefficient and disorganized management unable to prioritize - People who made the worst decisions that still impact the company were the ones promoted - Work load is unreasonably high and causes endless problems (and costs serious money) - There are genuinely a lot of snobby Europeans trying to tell you how things work in Europe regardless of its relevance - You have to work on a Suface ... are you kidding me? You can barely open two PDFs.
