Pros

Good work/life balance due to a general lack of work.

Cons

All hands meetings that are supposed to be updates about the company turn into BLM rallies or "look at me" exposes on a specific person in upper management. Required CRT/Intercultural development/Inclusion classes HR has an internal inquisition that cracks down on wrong-think. Smarmy CEO that sends his personal politics out every Friday to the company along with activism requests that align with his personal politics. Management has a chip on its shoulder and dishes out punishment to teams based on win together, lose solo. Internal culture obsessed with pointing fingers and finding blame. Pay is lower than standard.

Pros

Remote work flexibility was the primary benefit

Cons

Leadership promotes a people-first culture, but many employees experienced a disconnect between the messaging and reality. Employees were repeatedly reassured that there would be no layoffs, only to later be told that the layoffs had been planned for six months. That damaged trust across the organization. The culture has deteriorated significantly, and many employees feel that leadership is more focused on appearances than genuinely listening to and supporting employees.
