Pros

Free snacks. The pay was fair.

Cons

Turnover of upper management leading to limited advancement for team members. Company speaks of 'promoting from within' but will usually hire from outside for lead positions, leading to an interesting situation: team level management/directors often have no idea what or how their team is supposed to do, but who can sell themselves as experts in whatever position they seek. Until it is necessary to produce results on their own merit. Add to that a corporate affection for the 'next big thing' - usually a few years too late (such as 'open office' environments - implemented AFTER big tech had found them non-consequential productivity wise).

Pros

The benefits are reasonably affordable, and the holiday schedule is one of the more positive aspects of the company. I’m appreciative of that.

Cons

Overall, this company looks polished from the outside, but behind the scenes it feels disorganized, toxic, and driven by ego instead of integrity. I would not recommend working here unless appearances matter more to you than respect, growth, or genuine leadership. The CEO has favorites. There is no in-between. Multiple issues have been raised, yet nothing meaningful was/has been done. Nothing is in place to support other employees.
