Pros

It was at one time a family atmosphere where everyone would do their work without micromanagement. Great times were had. fun work days, and productivity.

Cons

new leadership changed the culture, micromanagement took over, and morale was at a low point " This is a business, not a party" mentality came over in a big wave. changes were being made behind closed doors, no longer having the "transparency" as it was said by leadership, for 3 years every change that was made, failed, more and more good co-workers left, duties were given that were not our department, cutting corners not to hire the working staff and make our department double the work, with no compensation. Rouge management was a mess, no one was on the same page with leadership, everything seems to be off the cuff, and constantly changing policies to letting others know of the change. Never trust when leadership claims "there is no way we will be outsourced to another country" then comes the reduction of staff and elimination of departments.

Pros

Very supportive managers and a fun, highly collaborative team. The department fosters an environment where ideas are openly shared and opportunities for improvement are discussed constructively without toxicity. Truly the best company I’ve worked for so far.

Cons

The interview process was somewhat lengthy, and salary discussions were not entirely consistent.

Pros

It was okay before the favoritism and gender pay gaps

Cons

There is a lot of favoritism. When I found out I was making far less than a male coworker in the same role with less years of experience, they did nothing to rectify the situation. Also, the CEO is far too involved in Product and dictates rather than collaborates
