Pros

The people and the culture are first-rate. I work with smart, talented, passionate colleagues who will do anything to help me. Very collaborative atmosphere. You'll read a lot of comments about the hybrid work policy (three days/week in the office) - it's definitely an emotional issue. I like the flexibility to work from home on Mondays and Fridays and I'm energized by being with colleagues in the office the other days. Our current policy seems pretty much in line with what most companies are doing these days.

Cons

You'll read a lot of negative reviews here - people are frustrated after three straight years of poor financial performance. Those are legitimate concerns. But this remains one of the healthier work cultures you'll find. It's intellectually stimulating, and people are genuinely kind. A lot of the so-called "culture" issues will be rectified by getting the company back to growth.
