Pros

The company President is focused on the company mission.

Cons

Unfortunately, on the employee level it is an overly competitive environment with no enforcement of professional standards of how employees treat one another. In the day to day work environment you must “watch your back” as other employees undermine your work product and reputation. This behavior is ignored and even encouraged by lower level management and the human resource department. There are much less stressful companies to work for and I am looking forward to resigning soon.

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.
