Pros
- As I expected the worldwide teams are generally open minded and hierarchies are flat - Everyone seems approachable, including leads and upper management - People I met seem open to the degree that they are clear about flaws, things that they want or need to improve (product flaws, workflows, communication, etc.) - We can be bold and try or support things we believe in within our direct or wider circles of concerns/teams - The company is not only focused on products and takes time and resources to improve as a company and look into humanitarian topics - The company is big enough to find thousands of interesting things to learn and many challenges for the foreseeable future in tech, tools, services, initiatives, etc.
Kontras
- Ramping up on big teams like this during COVID-19 is harder than on smaller teams still one can learn to pull information and meet people (again, teams/people are very approachable via Slack/Zoom in chats and video calls)
