Pros

I loved working here. I had an amazing team, cross department communication was always great. Honestly one of the best experiences I have had in my career.

Cons

Having to live in California - I understand why and I love California but we moved during the pandemic. I loved this job and would return if I ever move back to CA

Pros

Good benefits: health, dental, vision; partial cell/internet reimbursement.

Cons

Used to be a good company, but top-down decision-making doesn't take into consideration actual impacted areas. Increasing amounts of bulk layoffs in favor of contracting work out and lack of empathy. Even teams that used to have a strong family feel are straining under drastic annual changes and feeling hollow. Allot of bureaucracy and budget cuts making moving up in the company extremely difficult and long process. Overpowering DEI politics lead to promotions and hirings based on fulfilling DEI quota.
