Pros

• Occasionally learned new things and gained some experience. • Some coworkers were great to work with. • The company presents itself as data-driven, though this is questionable.

Cons

• You are just a number—no real recognition for hard work. • No clear path for career growth; promotions happen by chance, not merit. • Extremely high turnover with constant management changes. • Bonus incentives are misleading—company performance is poor, so bonuses rarely happen. • Outdated technology, despite the company claiming otherwise. • Layoffs are frequent—four major ones in the past three years. • The company’s business model contributes to rising housing costs, making homeownership harder for average people. • Disorganized and operates more like a struggling startup than an established company.

Pros

Decent pay Decent benefits Some very nice people

Cons

Major facetime culture - if you are an in office employee there is little flexibility. Very old fashioned company - you have to play the game Management sometimes makes choices that can make employees feel shafted or disrespected

Thank you for sharing your feedback — we're glad to hear the positives around pay, benefits, and the people here, and we take the concerns you've raised seriously. On in-person time: we emphasize this as we believe a lot of learning, mentorship, and collaboration happens more effectively face-to-face, particularly early in someone's tenure. We understand this doesn't work the same way for everyone, and feedback like yours helps us keep evaluating that balance. If you'd like to share more, please feel free to speak with your manager or anyone on the HC team. Thank you again for taking the time to write this.
