Pros

The only pro is that they allow remote work... but that's about it.

Cons

The worst company culture I've ever experienced. - Leadership and management are incompetent and lacks the basic professionalism. People getting yelled at, gaslighted, and taking blames for their direct reports are the norm. - Don't be fooled by their surface level DEI efforts. There's diversity, but minorities/women often times are being treated without basic respect. If you have any issues, forget about asking HR for help as they are mainly decorative. - Their toxic culture stems stems from the top, many people are aware of it but choose to play along or just suck it up. Most people I met there give out very strong NPC energy. So forget about making meaningful connections or having any career growth. - On-boarding and training is non-exist. They expect you to know everything and do everything but don't even bother to train you or communicate clear expectations to you. - Subpar benefits on all level: health insurance is slightly better than nothing, retirement only match the first half of your contribution. Believe all the bad reviews you're seeing here, as I suspect they post fake reviews here every now and then, as their reputations have drastically gone on a downhill in the past year or two.

Pros

Work/Life balance has never been better for me. I work with a great team and love my job.

Cons

I wish the policy for working outside the country had not changed, but this does not impact me personally.

Pros

Flexibility and working from home. Safety at work. Great supportive environment for last few years.

Cons

Cost prohibitive testing travel expenses that are not immediately reimbursed. Required to leave home for 2 weeks. Sometimes policies are not enforced to keep funding for students that are not a good fit for online learning.
