Pros

Diversity of cultures including in leadership Flexible PTO Strong benefits Mission driven

Cons

Frequent pivots in business even on a monthly level. No point in annual plans. Layoffs that are frequent and unreported whether due to % "underperforming" or no reason given. Lack of work life balance due to scarce resources Leadership now concentrated in Europe which is becoming disconnected from the bigger US and Canadian businesses Does not support remote workers
