  • Freedom & responsibility culture is not just on paper but a reality.
  • Never seen any other company give as much business context to employees.
  • Discussions, questions, and debates with senior management are encouraged.
  • Risk-taking is encouraged with room for failure. Senior management and first-level management encourage you to move out of your comfort zone and grow.

  • Competitive compensation and benefits.
  • Helpful teams that are ready to help each other for the benefit of the company.
Cons

  • If you are not cut out for a fast-paced, learn-something-new-everyday style of work, this is not the place for you.
Advice to Management
  • Keep investing in employees.
  • Keep giving context and being transparent.
  • Continue the "no brilliant jerks" value.
  • Invest in a mentorship program.
  • Maintain the freedom & responsibility culture as the company grows worldwide.
