Toxic place

Pros

remote work, decent pay. Some of the team members are genuinely nice, but unfortunately, they are overshadowed by the negative atmosphere.

Cons

Toxic Culture: The work environment is highly toxic, with constant backstabbing and gossip. Management does nothing to address this, and in some cases, they even encourage it. Poor Leadership: Leadership lacks vision, communication, and empathy. They are more interested in playing office politics than in leading the team effectively. Feedback is often ignored or met with hostility. High Turnover: The company has an extremely high turnover rate, which speaks volumes about the underlying issues. Employees often leave within a year, leading to a lack of continuity and constant training of new hires. Work-Life Imbalance: Despite claims of supporting work-life balance, the reality is that you're expected to be available 24/7. Burnout is common, and there's little regard for personal time. Lack of Growth Opportunities: There is little to no room for growth or career development. Promotions are rare and seem to be based on favoritism rather than merit.

Pros

Used to be a fantastic place to work for several years

Cons

2024 has been a year of mass layoffs, mass restructuring, mass exodus of talent with far too many critical elements changing for anyone to have any semblance of confidence in the future of the company.
