Pros

The direct team and teammates are great to work with and work-life balance is emphasized in the direct team, but anything beyond that is a complete mess.

Cons

While company-wide emails mention great numbers every time, budget cuts are constantly happening. (That is probably why numbers look great.) One might ask, how are budget cuts handled? They are solved by laying off people and then "restructuring", only to make numbers look good on paper. For a company that stresses quality home goods products created by in-house designers, they sure do not give a care about the designers. They are overworked, under-compensated, constantly ignored, and given unrealistic timelines. Designers are first to be kicked off the boat with these restructures, leaving their important work for the face of the company in the hands of outsourced contractors that do not return with quality work. If anyone would like to join the company, think twice, because you might either be miserable by the end of the month or be laid off by the end of the year. (Would also like to mention that they absolutely DO NOT like to give raises and promotions and will gaslight you into thinking that you're not doing well.) Cheers!

Pros

The company offers a fast-paced work environment where employees can gain broad experience and take ownership of important projects. Some teams work well together, and employees often have the chance to improve processes and solve real operational problems. Benefits are competitive, and the casual work environment may appeal to some employees.

Cons

Career growth opportunities are limited, and advancement paths are not always clear. Employees may take on more responsibility without receiving a promotion, title change, or matching pay. Priorities can shift often, and teams are sometimes expected to meet high goals without enough staffing, planning, or system support. Communication and accountability can vary across departments. The overall experience depends heavily on the employee’s manager and leadership team.
