Pros

Leadership is great (no egos, genuinely nice) People you work with are all helpful and kind Business model is interesting Fast growing company Nice office when you’re able to be there Embracing Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion despite old school industry People are open to new ideas and genuinely care about the business results over personal interests

Cons

Some teams are lean and overworked while resources go towards new roles/functions outside core business No time to focus on optimizing business results vs just keeping the business going New work gets added which takes away from primary responsibilities without hiring enough new team members to compensate PTO/other benefits are lacking vs competition in Bay Area

Pros

Nearby, always had mandated breaks. Had a close friend death occur and recieved immediate time off and support from one manager.

Cons

Very little training given, minor mistakes at other companies equal write-ups here, inefficient retraining, and 2/3rds of upper management ignoring me and acting immature for my final week because I quit
