Pros

Benefits were great and my small team worked very well together.

Cons

The company overall is poorly managed and feels like they're in an identity crisis. From the moment I started, it felt like there was news every few weeks of a management role exiting the company. Many not of their own volition. I had been told to disregard negative Glassdoor reviews as they had to go through necessary cuts a few years ago but had moved past that... until it happened to me and many others. I watched senior leadership be promoted only to have their roles deemed "unnecessary and redundant" just months later. Uptake attempts to grow far faster than they can handle (repeatedly) and when they can't find their place in the market (because they don't know who they are or what they bring to the table) they cut the workforce.
