Pros

Good benefits and work life balance

Cons

95%+ employees are white. Extremely racist executive leadership in software engineering. Old white Irish mob culture. Color of your skin and gender determines your growth in software engineering. The company is advertising itself as a black equity employer whereas there are no black employees. Stay away if you are not white and Irish.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are disappointed to hear that you did not have a positive experience during your tenure. We cannot disagree that the organization is not as diverse as it should or needs to be. That said, we are fully committed to increasing racial diversity and equitable representation, as well as a fully inclusive culture. We are taking significant action to make change. And while dramatic change will not occur overnight, we are making process and are seeing an impact.

Pros

Hybrid work schedule, benefits, free access to hbr articles, the Harvard name

Cons

Extreme disfunction. Every senior leaders opinion matters so that’s 10 different stakeholders you have to account for. Sr leaders are turning more into a mafia than actual leaders. Toxic workplace filled with politics.
