Pros

I like the atmosphere and co workers, I am still trying to figure out how much the company cares about its employees. Everyone seems like they have been around quite a while and like working here. Of course things could always be done to make employees feel more appreciated. Free soda, water and snacks daily, cookouts on a regular basis, when a rep comes they usually bring food. My manager is great, he hired me on knowing I had a baby on the way within 2 months of being hired. He cares about us and takes the time to train and teach me. The atmosphere in the office is nice and we all get along well.

Cons

I think the benefits are fair in price. Stock buying plan is a joke basically stick money in an account for 6 months then the company buys it on the employee behalf for 5% less. I think that is a joke because you dont earn interest while the money sits, and/or they may buy when it is high value and you get less. I do have 10 shares i bought on my own they are doing well. I think I agreed to a lower salary and accepted the first offer when I should have rebutted with a higher number (that's my fault) but there is opportunity and movement within the company so I can make up for it later.

Pros

Unlimited vacation is a perk.

Cons

The company has serious cultural and leadership issues, particularly around accountability for inappropriate conduct. There have been significant concerns regarding a senior global employee’s behavior, including inappropriate sexual relationships with employees across multiple countries and concerns about misuse of position, influence, and company resources to support his behavior. The fact that these concerns were reportedly allowed to continue raises serious questions about the company’s commitment to "safety". Reporting concerns to HR was not viewed as an effective solution. A workplace cannot maintain trust when employees believe power and position can shield predatory behavior. Employees should also be aware that compensation expectations may not align with reality. Bonuses that employees work toward throughout the year will not be paid out as expected, and communication around these decisions has been unclear and last minute. Overall, leadership has appeared disorganized, unqualified, inconsistent, and lacking direction.
