Pros

Great benefits, pay and perks. Stable company and I work with fun smart creative people.

Cons

The critical culture is helpful for continous improvement, but rarely celebrates what one has done well. Some managers do this well, but management and coaching skills are inconsistent as many get promoted for their technical skills.

Pros

The company places a strong emphasis on continuous learning and professional growth, with clear encouragement for employees to develop their skills over time. There are frequent, fun company events that help build connections across teams and contribute to a genuinely friendly and collaborative culture. Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
