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.

Pros

Great benefits and pay. Remote work is nice and you have the option to go into an office if you live nearby.

Cons

Disorganized leadership. It takes forever to get anything done. I'm frustrated daily on how hard it is to just do my job.
