Pros
There are definitely a lot of perks, though many are industry standard. Monthly catered lunches, free coffee and snacks, hybrid schedule, happy hours, and regular company events keep things social and enjoyable. The tech side of the business is more diverse and forward-thinking, which can make collaboration interesting. The pace is fast, and you can gain exposure to challenging projects early in your career.
Cons
The Operations side struggles with both representation and diversity of thought. Leadership and staff are overwhelmingly similar, and it’s noticeable that when cuts happen, they often affect employees of color more than others. Even if not intentional, it sends a message about the kind of “fit” leadership values. Leadership often fosters an environment where different perspectives or approaches are dismissed as “wrong” rather than valued. They hold employees to very high standards but don’t hold themselves accountable in the same way, and performance issues (even slight ones) can quickly end someone’s time at the firm. There’s been significant turnover in both leadership and employees, which speaks to the culture that’s been created: one where mistakes are not tolerated and employees feel replaceable.
