Pros

- Flexible PTO (could be a con since it is unlimited and they don't love you taking it) - Flexible working hours - Decent Benefits

Cons

- I wish I could give this company zero stars for the way they treated me. - Will not train new hires - Training was very limited for a remote company and never felt welcome on my team - Does not take on new ideas of projects as was stated during my interview. Any new ideas I had were immediately dismissed - Management is poor and only cares about current employees, not new ones - HR provided no help when I reached out regarding workplace concerns/problems. They actually hung up on me. - Unlimited PTO might sound great but they only advise you taking 2 weeks off and more is frowned upon. - Never felt welcome and my manager told me on week 2 that they were not here to train me and to figure it out myself - Left company due to multiple concerns and lack of leadership intervention when concerns were raised - I could never recommend this company to any individual unless if you are willing to work in a very hostile work environment

Pros

The work that is available is very interesting and you get to meet alot of great people through different channels, though you can find this at most companies. The product itself is great and has a lot of opportunities for growth as technology advances.

Cons

Lack of proper communication to the different teams from upper leadership. Expectations seem to change off a whim and can drastically affect the moral of the teams in a negative way reducing work efficiency Favoritism seems to run rampart through the company by hand picking people for different roles/shifts to be available to them without taking into consideration of how long others have been at the company. Company does not seem to understand work life balance at all. The support structure is undergoing dreadful changes that have ruined the culture of the work environment causing others to leave in mass. Even new hires have left before being fully brought up to speed as the environment was not as advertised. They will tell you one thing and then when the time comes there is always another excuse as to why it will not happen. Everything has to be scheduled and if you fall outside of the schedule you need to provide written documentation of what you were doing during that time.

Pros

Benefits are excellent (pay is a bit below scale but unlimited PTO made up for this). When times are good, they are generous with bonuses, in person events, team building etc.

Cons

Depending on the business unit, you will experience culture at different levels. When I first started, may business unit was amongst the best. Teams worked together to become more sophisticated in process and product. However, once our business unit leader was promoted, things went downhill very quickly. She now had a seat at the 'big boys table' and let it go to her head. She also lacks significant leadership skills that keep her focus far too narrow. She claims she wants to be challenged in order for us all to be better - but the reality is, she has built a team of yes-(wo)men around her to support her line of thinking. This particular business unit likely won't be around much longer - and that will be a direct result of her stubborn nature and lack of strategic vision.
