Pros

They know they want to do better.

Cons

The recent culture improvements come across as phony when you have several, political silos that are gunning for control over various functions within the organization. There are pockets of great employees from former organizations, but the legacy Digital mindset is very much so still present, delaying any real progress. In the States, HR plays favorites and sadly cannot be trusted. Overall, it's tough to trust anyone as the political environment is just too toxic. To survive, you must unplug and go with the flow or join a faction within the organization and play games at the expense of your team members. Super stars are not encouraged here, rather their shine dulls quickly in this combative environment.

Pros

Medical and other Insurance Benefits are ok.

Cons

Unlimited PTO Concept is just cheating people and put more control with the supervisor. People have to take time off at the mercy of the supervisor. The salary is not as per market rate. Also the work environment is very toxic and there is no professionalism. I don't recommend it to anyone.
