Pros

Great benefits - health, dental, vision. Awesome travel opportunities on the companies dime. CEO is there every single day. He's a billionaire and inherited daddy's company, but at least you can ride the elevator up with him and he won't ignore you.

Cons

Still a sleezy corporation. They don't care about you and will get rid of you and call it "restructuring" because they are swiss. This didn't happen to me. Also they went from offering remote jobs, to some remote jobs, to everyone being hybrid, decreasing the remote days, and now everyone is in person except for fridays.

Pros

I had the most amazing teammates!

Cons

Salary, micromanagement, management with fear, no career opportunities, working hours, no work/life balance, prioritizing quantity over quality, taking advantage of young people who are just starting their careers.
