Pros

The only pro is that employees are given lots of opportunity because they are given lots of fast paced work

Cons

Pay is not competitive for the area. Little to no work life balance. Employees are expected to work 10-12 hours daily and are typically doing the job of 2-3 people. A global director said himself that people should be expected to answer emails until 8pm. The culture supports overworking and quickly leads to burnout. Very obvious that it’s a “you should just be happy to be here” culture. Unlimited PTO is a joke because the culture doesn’t actually support time off from work. Many people don’t take vacation all year because they are too busy.

Pros

+ extremely knowledgeable colleagues + you will learn more in a short time than you ever learned before + high pace, a lot gets done in a short time

Cons

- 70-80 hours weekly on a constant basis - extremely toxic management style. Promotion to a manager is usually a path for the toxic person on the team who has been there the longest and has no regard to actual qualification for being a good manager - no such thing as self-development or growth - unlimited vacation means no vacation - if you won't experience illegal treatment yourself, I guarantee you will see your colleagues being treated that way - if this is something you can't stomach, this company is not for you - unsustainable long term
