Pros

I worked there pre IPO and just recently left. It has changed a lot, so the only pro's remaining, in my perspective, are the kind, amazing people I built relationships with and the flexibility of getting involved in projects you are interested in.

Cons

They really preach a family culture, but there is a lot of politics there. Instead of providing helpful feedback for employees to grow, people easily get demoted and/or fired. It puts the rest of the team on edge. Advocating for your own career and asking for a promotion is easily ignored, unless you are "in" with the politics. If someone isn't ready for a promotion, there should be conversations about what needs to happen to get there-- no career development support at all.

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
