Pros

- Multinational company enviroment is excellent. - Company offers great benefits to employees (health, transportation, discounts). - Technical and infrastructure very advanced. - Organization with good economical stability.

Cons

- Slow movements and no room for growth inside the organization. - Salary is very low compared to the market and the demanding duties of the role. - Too much micromanagement, no trust with employees. - Leadership team not capacitated to be in charge of an entire team. - If you provide feedback, instantly they place a tag to you as sign of Retaliation. - Internal jobs interviews are pointless since candidate who is promoted was already preselected before the rest of the candidates perform their interview. - Inconsistent feedback, most of occasions the feedback contradictory to the previous one.

Pros

Benefits are decent and reasonably priced. They offer a 401k match, BCBS insurance, FSA, HSA, dental, vision, life insurance, and accidental D&D coverage. They also do a 3‑to‑1 match for donations to non‑religious 501(c) organizations. There’s a big emphasis on volunteering, with plenty of opportunities to get involved. The building itself is beautiful, with a free on‑site gym, a coffee shop, real trees in the atrium, a waterfall, and a large cafeteria (though the food can vary). They’re also flexible about which days you come on‑site, depending on the team’s schedule. If I needed to switch a Monday for a Thursday, it was never an issue. My manager was also supportive of remote work on days when the weather made commuting difficult.

Cons

Admins do not get an annual bonus. They're really strict on Overtime, really weird about worrying about mini costs. Like they'll spend 50k on a week-long training but freak out if people want to rent a car while being in town. Can't buy lunch for this 3 hour meeting to cut costs, but we'll drop 10k on this other thing. It's also so unfair that some people get to work remotely and others are forced to come in 3 times a week, for the exact same roles. Every meeting is basically online, so it's just silly and a power trip.
