Cons

very poor management, no work-life balance, very difficult to take time off when sick or for other emergencies, very overworked and never appreciated, no training from managers or leads, very negative atmosphere, very unreasonable expectations from management, always understaffed, management will constantly remind you that you are disposable to them, no respect from management, being a hard worker is overlooked unless you are friends with your manager, management will see race before work ethic or skill set.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
