Pros

The office is pretty cool but that’s about it. The honey moon phase will wear off quick. Health insurance is okay. Nothing special to brag about.

Cons

Where do I start…no work-life balance at all. Expect to work 12-15 hour days including weekends. This company is extremely old fashioned and not willing to go automated. Don’t even waste your time trying to pitch any innovative ideas as they will get shut down immediately. Everything goes through one person and your work is based off his schedule. This is not a sustainable place to work and the turn over rate is so high in the Accounting department. Lastly, the all know each other outside of work. Chances you move up are non- existent. They have no problem working you death but won’t even think twice to promote you. You are just a number in their eyes.

Pros

Company culture - the people are great. Decent benefits for a single person Interesting products and projects Work from home flexibility (2 days)

Cons

Compensation could be more competitive for the area. Unfortunately, they are taking advantage of the employer market right now, and offering salaries 6k less than what starting salaries the year prior was offered. Your manager definitely has the biggest impact on your time here, with little regulation or management above them. It will entirely shape your experience, for better or for worse. Decreased work from home flexibility - when I accepted the offer, my recruiter told me it was typical for employees to work from home around the November and December holidays, with no need to take all your vacation days to do so. At the last minute, this norm was mysteriously taken away, and depending on your manager, employees were told to either use their vacation days or be in the office the day before and after Xmas. Cozy. The AI strategy here is starting to finally look like an actual strategy, but before that it was in every sense of the world a mania and definitely shifted the culture in a bad way. Kudos to the people who attempted to take leadership and actually formulate our strategy. HR here is kind of useless, the team is extremely bloated. Onboarding was not a fun experience.
