Pros

Generally people are pretty good to work with

Cons

Beware of the HR/Management affiliation. Nothing that is shared with HR fits the "confidential" mold... same of information shared with mgmt... goes straight into that "file" of yours in HR, which they may or may not use against you at some point in the future. God forbid you ask to see the contents of your file... And that so-called "family culture"... yeah... sure...

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
