Pros

It is an undeniable fact that these diligent and committed individuals would be lauded and appreciated in any other place except this one.

Cons

The constant restructuring and inadequate wages are absolutely unacceptable. It is completely unfair to impose pay freezes on existing workers while new hires get higher pay. The company should value and reward employee loyalty instead of overlooking it. The work environment unfortunately promotes micromanagement and sycophancy, which is unacceptable. The benefits, including the health plans, are horrible, and if you are considering joining this company, you must take a closer look at them. The HR department portrays a completely different story during the hiring process, so be extremely wary of this. The constant reorganizations have also allowed individuals who don't respect the brand to attain leadership positions, making working under them a complete nightmare.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
