Pros

-gq and pq are great. It’s if you try to go outside of that it sucks. My leads have always been super nice. Can get more then normal days off if you know how to.

Cons

Getting out of customer success is hard. Other teams hire mostly externals and that in it self is hurtful. They had a weird mass firing of the cash team that was weird. 60 plus people fired but none of the leads were. Idk just all around uncomfortable.
