Pros

Salary and benefits are competitive but ironically, you’ll pay a high premium for the health benefits.

Cons

Uneven treatment by managers: high performers are overworked while others slack off. If you check the job postings, you’ll see that turnover and vacancies are high because the good ones burn out and leave within a few years.

Terrible Environment

Pros

flexible WFH options...Mission driven company which is nice

Cons

Terrible leadership and management in place. There was/is constant turnover in the HR department and constant leadership changes. Your voice is not heard here and you feel undervalued and unappreciated. A ton of re-orgs happen here so be prepared for this.
