Pros

Great company wide growth, position autonomy, and a solid vision. Love the CEO/leaders and the initiatives.

Cons

I joined more than a year ago and have yet to meet anyone in the company. Really poor amount of PTO (I was surprised at how few days were given). Unless you’re fairly high management level, no stock options. Too many politics stunting growth. Individual countries take their own route and don’t reflect the global culture / initiatives.

We are happy to hear you feel aligned with our leadership, vision, and initiatives. Since the pandemic, we have listened to our employees' need for a fully flexible work approach. Working habits have indeed drastically evolved with more people working from home. In this context, finding ways to maintain a strong sense of belonging between the teams is essential. That is why we regularly promote Feel-Good Initiatives (yoga classes, meditation sessions, bartending lessons, etc.) and other get-togethers like after-works. They are great to meet and bond with people; we invite you to check them out. The Limitless summit we recently organized was very well-received by the community; we hope you had the opportunity to join and enjoy it too. Regarding the lack of synchronization between local entities, the new strategy we announced last year was a real turning point for the company and should help us move forward, all in the same direction.

Pros

Smart, hardworking people at the individual contributor level (many of whom are now gone). Little micro-managing, but that’s because everyone’s bandwidth is near 0

Cons

Post–new CEO, the company has descended into complete chaos. There is no transparency around decisions that impact teams and roles. There have been consistent strategy, personnel, and supplier changes with no explanation, accountability, or follow-through. Cons, continued: Employee input and performance do not matter. Decisions feel driven by appeasing BoD and optics rather than results, input and reality. The culture has become a corporate hellscape of: Endless reorganizations with no clear rationale, including layoffs with no reasoning Vague all-hands meetings that avoid real issues, even when directly asked A massive disconnect between the C-suite and day-to-day reality Eroded trust and growing position insecurity Middle managers incentivized to prioritize managing up & executive optics over team advocacy “Return to Office” policy put in place when promised a “Work from Anywhere” position, where the RTO policy differs across employees’ location Little to no growth opportunities despite high performance Under-market average compensation that was justified by locale, “Work from Anywhere”, and flexibility — which was recently rolled back A clear favoritism to those that “talk the talk” vs “performance with numbers”
