Pros

Great people getting work done. The majority of people responsible for design & implementation do great work and are a pleasure to get to know and collaborate with. Good medical benefits program.

Cons

Executive & senior leadership regularly ignores or trivializes constructive feedback and does not create a culture where the open discussion of ideas is promoted. Talking at a group of people does not count as a discussion. Lack of coherent vision and company priorities reinforces team silos and makes cross-team collaboration far more difficult than it should be.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
