Pros

Nice People Collaborative Culture Equipped Kitchen

Cons

One of the notorious things to me is how overly money-hungry/cheap the company is. Here's why. First, it's cheap to its employees. As everybody knows, salaries are relatively low and my impression is the company seldom, if ever, gives out bonuses. It's also cheap to the department budget. There's a lot of red tape and little money to invest in tools or contractors that build the internal capabilities of the departments. Thus, people have to compromise quality. Maneuvering there like a budget makes things a struggle. Sadly, the focus of senior management seems to be more focused on making a company that will sell soon and not really invested in its long-term brand neither its customers (the product as you can see evidently is not very pretty to look at) nor to its employees (high turnover is evident as well). The all becomes more evident on the quarterly meetings. The company is growing double digits quarter over quarter and yet everybody knows the salaries are low. It’s like they flaunt in internal meetings how much money they're making and yet they don't give back it to its employees or departments. They display a 'we're good flag/got a good mission' flag that ultimately they use to pay less. Finally, to me, it's interesting that everybody claims that work and life balance is good here when I thought it was not. I think the expectation is to work closer to nine hours a day.

Pros

Occasional food trucks at happy hour

Cons

The responses from their HR team on here are laughable. The leadership team will screw you over overtly, egregiously, and repeatedly. Do not work here. You’ll have to sit through tearful speeches from the CEO about how his name is pronounced while their chief growth officer runs multiple parts of the business into the ground while posting about dating drag performers on LinkedIn. Their social media posts are filled with comments about complaints about a lack of customer service. They don’t care about their clients, customers, or employees.
