Pros

- You would be meeting some technically sound individuals and there would be so much learning. - The founder of the company (Andrew) is really inspiring and you would find him here and there in the office.

Cons

- If you are on H1B, take caution as you would be on a higher risk in joining companies like Relativity as they are a traditional company with predominantly white individuals. - They strive for inclusive behavior company wide, but you will see some hiccups here and there if you are from a different nationality especially. - Manager has complete control over you. There is no proper process in even taking leaves and they have stopped tracking leaves in workday for some weird reason. - Earlier they use to encash any unused leaves at the year end. But they have stopped that to gain more financial capability. - Bottom line is the managers were given more power after the new CEO came in and there were no company wide policies implemented properly. If you have a bad manager, you would be mostly done with the company. A true international company doesn't work this way.

Pros

Free Lunch on Wednesdays Solid Benefits Good pay for new hires

Cons

The flexible work week doesn't actually exist. It's an excuse to require some employees to work more than the 40 hour work week. Chicago employees are required to go into the office at least 2 days a week, even if rest of the team is remote. My specific team is without clear direction or leadership. Performative corporate jargon is rewarded over meaningful contributions. Existing employees are paid significantly less than new hires. At least on my team, there have been differences of $20 to $30K in annual salary for the same level.
