Pros

Remote and very flexible program (split the day in 2 or come late). Weekly lunches, travelling to US, stocks and all the "normal" perks. Top level compensation. Good technical culture. The managers and above have tech background. The scale of the back-end systems is ludicrous that results in many large-scale distributed systems problems we need to deal with every day. Large pool of technical experienced (10+yrs) talented people across the globe to learn from.

Cons

Because of the business nature (security) of the company all the procedures and daily activities are more complicated, but the friction is minimal. High quality required for the products may be frustrating or challenging, depending on your view. Company's growth (200%/year) is disruptive sometimes (everything changes).

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
