Pros

Amazing benefits -We just got unlimited PTO/sick/bereavement time -health/dental/vision paid for -match 401K -access to therapy Great learning environment.

Cons

Cliquey. Many teams are isolated from one another. Awful communication. You often are thrown into different projects with no explanation of what is needed from you. Bosses are not responsive. Poor work life balance. High pressure to work evenings and sometimes weekends. People messaging you at all hours. No overtime pay. Very little room for advancement. You get more responsibility, but no promotion, and minimal raises. Bosses play favorites, and raises reflect this. No one cares how much or how little work you do. They may praise you for your work, but raises rarely reflect it. Bosses ineffective and there are zero consequences to bad behavior. Pay is decent, but good luck getting a fair raise for the amount of work you do.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
