Pros

-Unlimited PTO that managers will (usually) encourage you to take advantage of -Pay is good -Benefits are decent

Cons

-CTO (now Group President of Prod and Tech) is the most toxic leader (if you can even call him that) I've ever met. He expects you to just take any verbal abuse from him. He isn't receptive to any ideas other than his own. His communication in Slack is horrible and aggressive. He often implements periods of "crunch" where employees are expected to work 12+ hours a day, through weekends, for weeks or months at a time with no additional compensation. -Company says they are remote friendly, but they absolutely aren't. They're pushing office propaganda hard and are slowly forcing more parts of the business to run out of the offices. -The company says they care about your well-being, but they don't. If they want you to work non-stop to meet an arbitrary deadline, then you'll work on Holidays to get it done.

Pros

Good benefits, great pto policy, great rewards system, on paper the company looks great

Cons

-incompetent leadership (not all, but a good portion) -bait and switch style hire process -they don't have solid direction on where they are headed so it's a lot of top-down confusion -leaders have heads in the clouds but don't know how the tactical things happen, so there are two different realities amongst execs and the lower level employees doing the work -pay comparisons are questionable -microaggressions, bullying, and bias run rampant as it's not much diversity -absolutely no one knows who does what, so you will spend hours or days finding the right person just to get a task done OR question answered. Causing unnecessary delays and tension. -Because of the ai first nature, a lot of people are hired that don't have a clue what they are doing tactically. So conversations and next steps are written and fueled by ai. -Everyone talks like walking philosopher degrees with unnecessary filler and jargon to SOUND like they know what they are doing, but not enough tactical skill. Semantics are huge here. Because of this, ALOT of miscommunication and confusion happens. -They don't have the proper organization or management tools, just slack heavy... as you can imagine chaos breeds in this space. Everyone says "Welcome to Fetch" instead of just hiring the right leaders to bring structure asap. -The focus is too much on doing whatever to get the job done and hit revenue goals.
