Pros

- Great people working here - 100% remote work, flexible hours - Optional in person meet ups - Learning, lots of tools - Great place for juniors to grow

Cons

- Toxic culture, all smoke and mirrors, say one thing and do the other, leadership cannot be trusted. You get talks and training about complying with legislation, quality, security, data... but never the time or tools for it, no matter how many people and times ask for it. - There is never time to do it right, there is always time to do it twice or ten times, out of work hours. High pressure, tight deadlines. - Employees are not listened to, literally there is no one to talk to. - Cannot give any feedback that is not super fabulous, forcing people to give feedback among several people using chatgpt so that is fully anonymous, that will be ignored anyways. - No career opportunities except for juniors - Technical debt - Unequal and unfair salary compensation

We have incorporated many avenues for this, including a direct line to our leaders (AMAs, Town Halls, Skip-Levels, etc). We have worked heard to create and nurture an open culture of communication.

Pros

The team culture here is truly outstanding, everyone is incredibly welcoming and goes out of their way to make new members feel included from day one. The collaborative atmosphere makes it easy to ask questions and get support, regardless of your role or experience level. People are genuinely kind, approachable, and eager to share their knowledge. It's a great environment for learning and growing, especially as an intern.

Cons

Everyone on the team is extremely busy, which means projects can sometimes lack clear structure or defined goals. It can be difficult to get dedicated time from mentors or leads to move initiatives forward, so projects may feel somewhat ambiguous or slow to progress. Being proactive is a must, as things can get lost in the shuffle when everyone has a lot on their plate.

Pros

Summer Bi-weekly Fridays off, quarterly disconnect days, unlimited PTO,

Cons

Too corporate, bad to no culture, toxic work environment, no recognition. Endless work, unclear objectives and goals from senior leadership and management. Little budget to hire good talent, no budget to promote.
