Pros

Incredible office with delicious food and tons of great perks.

Cons

Genuinely had a terrible two years here. We worked 5 days a week in-office with hardly any flexibility. The culture is male-dominated and chaotic-- ever-changing expectations due to lack of alignment among senior management. The hours of intense and I felt a ton of pressure to work without taking PTO, despite their "unlimited" PTO policy. Sexism is commonplace and I watched bad behavior get rewarded with no consequences. Would not recommend working here to my worst enemy.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
