Pros

-Decent compensation -Food is okay, the culinary team is very kind -Relatively innovative technology -

Cons

-There's a culture of deceit and dishonesty. As a recent departure I know some of the reviews here are written by the People/HR teams to purposefully counter bad reviews. Similarly, an email was sent to the company to encourage employees to write positive reviews so the company could be on a "Best Place to Work" list. -There needs to be an overhaul of company culture, specifically around hiring and working in diverse environments. I've overhead a manager call her their team "simple." -HR does not operate with discretion. There were multiple instances where people were disciplined or terminated for reporting things in confidence. People found out they were being laid off on Blind before it happened. -Extreme nepotism- if you're friends with the right people, you will go far (as exemplified by the people/recruiting team leadership almost all coming from one company). On the flip side, if you upset off the wrong person, you will be terminated. -The previous two points lead to a culture of fear. -Senior management does not listen to employees and make decision without consulting employees, lots of top down decisions -Expectation to work unreasonable hours
