Pros

My direct team and benefits

Cons

Awful rollouts, insane greed, performative caring, quarterly updates from the CEO about how we're making money when we're all miserable.

Pros

fun events and good holiday hours. they have a rent discount, but if you are terminated they can terminate your lease

Cons

low salary to start, somewhat limited opportunity to move up in the company. if it is a long-term goal and you love the company it is worth staying at. if you are a person who wants to make money and move up in an organization quickly this is not the correct one. if you are looking for DEI they say that they have goals towards increasing certain numbers, but they do not make it a priority to let you take the time to join in on the team calls. they let you partake in DEI activities if it fits into your schedule that day, you can't make it part of your schedule.
