Pluspunten
Strong mission and purpose – you feel like you are making a somewhat meaningful difference. Autonomy and ownership – You get a lot of room to take initiative and build something from the ground up. Supportive direct manager – My manager was very communicative, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping the team succeed. Unfortunately, they were often stretched thin due to understaffing and lack of support from upper leadership.
Minpunten
Unclear career progression – There’s little transparency or structure around career development, which leaves many team members demotivated or unsure of their future at the company. Low base pay and weak bonus incentives – Compensation is below market, and bonuses are difficult to attain due to confusing and restrictive metrics, rather than simply rewarding revenue generated. Disempowered local teams – Many key decisions are centralized in Europe, which limits the impact and clarity of regional leadership. Management often seems out of the loop or unable to influence meaningful change.
