Pros

At first, the company was doing well and everyone was really nice and great to work with. The benefits and PTO are nice.

Cons

After the CEO and several other execs were fired, there was a definite shift. People were on edge and fearful of what was coming. I was actually relieved to be laid off. I can't imagine still being there and looking over my shoulder all the time which is what a lot of people there are still doing. Career opportunities are pretty limited if you're not on the right team. The office can be really quiet and sterile. I think employee happiness depends greatly on who your manager is.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
