Pros

Having fun is one of the company's core values. The company has very smart people who are great to work with. They are open to me working remotely, offer unlimited PTO, free food, and great perks.

Cons

Scattershot strategy - different business units sometimes pull in different directions, putting strain on the groups (like mine) that serve all of them.

As groups have grown from start-up mode, they still retain the lightweight business processes that work for small teams. However, in some cases, more structure is needed when teams get larger.

Advice to Management

Slow down on acquisitions, double down on unifying our platform globally.
