Pros

Like in any company, some people are smart and nice to work with, you just need to find your "match". Some colleagues are knowledgeable, focused and helpful, with good understanding of goals and how to achieve them. There are really interesting and challenging projects. Top management seem to have a solid vision for the business and implement it.

Cons

Overall culture isn't good and not people oriented. Top-down, micromanaged culture with disturbingly slow processes. Subordination and good relationship with manager is valued over professionalism, expertise and efficiency. Speaking up is discouraged. Very US-driven culture without understanding European mentality and values. HR policies are not people-focused. Career growth almost impossible.

Pros

Unlimited PTO, but don't expect that to be approved - many if ands/or buts.

Cons

Work-life balance is non-existent The workload here was totally unmanageable, meaning you're pretty much forced to work past 5 PM every day just to keep up. The "unlimited PTO" is a myth. A bunch of managers are reluctant to approve anything for a week or longer, and they still expect you to check in and reply to messages while you're supposed to be on vacation. Management throws you to the wolves Onboarding was pretty much a joke. They dump a massive amount of work on your plate before you even feel comfortable in the role. Managers aren't supportive either; they might help with easy stuff at first, but if a problem is actually challenging, they just pass the buck to someone else. Trying to escalate issues to skip-levels or senior leadership is completely pointless because they just ignore the problems anyway. It may even backfire, considering mid and senior leaders are tight-knit, and they often behave inappropriately towards their team. Heavy micromanagement There is a really intense RTO culture here, and the surveillance is real. You are expected to keep your camera on at all times during meetings. Don't expect a raise There's zero financial growth at this company. The starting pay was low, and management completely resists giving anyone a substantial raise, if they give you one at all.
