Pros

Great mission for the company and the company makes a lot of strides to improve employee experience.

Cons

Social justice initiatives within the company have gotten out of control. Politics has become too much of the conversation. Not appropriate for a corporate environment as we may not all agree with leadership - leads to lack of inclusiveness for those with different political viewpoints.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
