Pros
-There are some great people who are in middle management in the company. This is where I have seen some of the most intelligent, exceptional talent. -Non-HQ markets have some great GMs and their own micro-cultures that resist the toxic HQ culture. - If you love food, it's a great place filled with food lovers.
Cons
- Arrogant approach to global expansion, no localisation whatsoever (we don't even have an Arabic app in the UAE 4 years in). -Product and engineers are few and far between for a tech company (we can't attract enough at the low salaries) and act in a lazy and entitled way. -Exec team are not really competent and don't know how to work together -Bro culture that keeps a lot of mediocre white men in power positions. -Blatant acts of bullying (that make the AWAY stories look like childs play) are overlooked by HR when committed by legacy friends of the CEO. -CEO has said that you can't be a customer-centric company and an employee-centric company so doesn't see the need to take care of employees. -CEO more concerned with PR-ing himself as a CEO than working with the team. -Not an inclusive place: in my 3 years, I saw multiple women fired when they got pregnant. The diversity committee has no senior leadership buy in and does not have the mandate to make any changes to dismantle the bro culture.
