Pros

- Chance to learn about the ESG-reporting landscape and upcoming regulations - Good opportunity for young professionals to advance in their career - Plenty of friendly people

Cons

- Toxic positivity - only positive comments and an "uplifting" attitude are tolerated openly so people complain a lot behind the scenes. - Processes change all the time and everything is explained with it being part of normal "scale-up chaos", and people are made to feel like the individual employees, not the company, are a problem. - You are encouraged/expected to promote the company on LinkedIn without extra compensation. - Favouritism - for example, promotions seem to be based on personal relationships rather than competency - People are being fired and also let go during their probation period, whilst there are simultaneously ads out for the same/similar positions - Some of the middle and upper managers have low leadership skills and they seem insecure and tend to borderline bully.

Pros

Fantastic culture, super collaborative and engaging environment even across teams/regions. Felt very supported and encouraged to learn and grow from day 1. Slack was a fantastic way to share ideas and build connections. Amazing work life balance. People were very passionate about sustainability. Platform was very user friendly and allowed CS team to act very independently and be creative. Workload was fine but other teams had a ton of clients and were overwhelmed.

Cons

Middle managers were very immature in their leadership roles, not very much experience handling team conflicts or time management. Very frustrating to deal with. Overall, US Leadership was very good, flexible, cared about their employees. US market growth was not strong, limiting career opportunities. Company leadership was not great at strategic planning and long term growth.
