Pros

People are nice for the most part. Compensation and benefits were great when I was there. Not sure if they're still good.

Cons

Don't believe the unlimited PTO policy, I was using it to cover overtime hours I was not getting paid for. Even though documented, my manager used it against me. Also, recommend not going to HR for anything, they are there just to cover the companies liabilities.

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.
