Pros

Thought there were some but not sure anymore

Cons

There’s something really wrong when people in Pittsburgh are getting silenced and your company cares more about their public image than their people.

Lack of transparency and hypocritical

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- nice office - some very cool people to befriend - competitive salary and decent perks, ex. Equinox - can be fun and fast-paced

Cons

- politicking within teams and between teams - some people feel like diversity hires - little transparency - people seem to not generally love the product; some seem to actually dislike it - middle managers have no/little empathy and are prone to micromanaging - promises of empathy and support without providing resources - unrealistic expectations for performance, and lack of recognition when you try to meet them - food is bland

There is a reason anti-depressants are free with the health plan

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are great, insurance is great, remote is amazing.

Cons

Such a toxic environment, you can never get promoted or move up, ideas are stolen all the time, no recognition. You get told one thing when in reality the opposite is going on. If you enjoy being anxious and worried all the time this is the place for you. Suddenly the way you do things will be considered wrong after thats the way its been done for years. You will be given random work with 0 guidance.
