Little room to grow unless willing to relocate. Company culture went down hill after IPO.

Pros

Friendly environment, easy to take ownership, encourage to initivates, no "who did that?" question

Cons

Strong separation between contractors and full-time employees. Contractors have limited career growth opportunities, no clear path to permanent employment, and significantly lower compensation compared to equivalent US-based contractors despite similar responsibilities and impact. Working across multiple time zones can also affect work-life balance.
