Pros

The offices are nice, and that's about it.

Cons

There is no room for growth. All management is brought in from outside of the company. Its becoming a very top down management style where all decisions are made by one extremely out of touch executive. They recently fired 38 people without even talking to those peoples managers.

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
