Pros

Good co workers. Great benefits. Great product

Cons

Pay was not competitive whatsoever. Goals were almost unobtainable. Upper management always asked for feedback on how they can improve but nothing was ever changed. Made some departments return to office even though they had promised they would never “force” anyone to come back to office although we all knew it was a lie since they moved their headquarters to a massive building. Had to make that investment worth it somehow. Raises were far and few in between. No matter how good you did they always wanted more and more.

Pros

Good people who work here. Teammates are smart and easy to get along with. The benefits are decent, the pay is average

Cons

Career advancement has now been gated behind whether or not you're willing to give up remote status. Advancement requires coming back to the office. RTO was also introduced by the CTO in general and was rolled out in a confusing an inconsistent manner and anyone commenting on it or asking about it was given the "talk".
