Pros

Benefits Work/life balance Comp Flexibility

Cons

Great place to work if you are established in your career but not a place for growth. Leadership does not trust employees to do the job they were hired to do. Extreme micromanagement. Leadership far too involved with minuscule tasks. Rapid growth but instead of headcount they throw AI at you. Very easy to burn out and when you address with the people team you are just met with a nod & smile. Nothing ever comes from addressing your concerns so don’t waste your time
