Pros

Some of the best and smartest people I've ever worked with. If you are grandfathered in on compensation bands, it's pretty solid (for now).

Cons

Drastic cuts in new salary bands mean it's been difficult to hire at the same bar as before. This also causes internal strife as some employees make way more than new employees.

History of making employee-unfriendly changes to policies, compensation, etc.

Not public so stock valuations are always suspect, making it hard to value.

Hiring mostly in the EU while starting to mandate RTO makes no sense.

Advice to Management

Remember that your employees are what make the business successful.
