Great company if you have a good manager

Pros

Great company overall. Execs are easy to speak to and encouraging. Compensation is fair. They promote work-life balance and offer meditation and yoga. Wellness program is a fantastic bonus.

Cons

I have a micro-manager and am trying to get into a new team. Company promotes career-pathing and most practice what they preach but I have experienced otherwise and feel I have been "kept down". This manager is not in line with the company culture and we pay the price.
