Pros

Salary is reasonably set to ensure applicants want to join.

Cons

1. Preferential treatment is a norm. People are hired and promoted based on who they know and not what they know. 2. Managers set unrealistic goals that cannot be met. 3. Managers use PIPs to force employees to quit, even when PIPs are unfounded and goals are unrealistic. 4. The company is a dog eat dog environment. Building relationships with coworkers is discouraged. Team members are not encouraged to share responsibilities or experience. 5. The turnover rate is absurd. Most employees quit after 1 year.

Pros

Remote work option is nice to have

Cons

Zero support from management, with employee development and team concerns often taking a back seat to other priorities. Morale continues to go downhill, and several colleagues exploring opportunities elsewhere or leaving the organization already. The culture is challenging, particularly around providing candid feedback, as employees often are tracker down and face negative repercussions and retaliations. Career advancement depends more on aligning with leadership preferences than on merit and performance. Would not recommend this company to those seeking a supportive environment with transparent growth opportunities. Overall, the culture is political and difficult to navigate.
