Pros

There are talented and hardworking individuals across teams who genuinely care about delivering results. Some managers support flexibility and work-life balance, and there are occasional opportunities to work on interesting projects if you’re proactive.

Cons

Leadership has become increasingly disorganized, creating confusion around priorities and accountability. Over the past six months, there have been multiple waves of layoffs, and many employees feel pushed out rather than supported. Career growth and compensation, including yearly bonuses, often depend more on relationships with upper management than on measurable performance. Leadership tends to avoid taking responsibility for poor decisions, leaving teams to operate without clear direction. Many in senior roles appear to have advanced through attrition or internal politics rather than demonstrated capability.

Run Away

Pros

Solid base pay, above average health benefits, flexible with WFH

Cons

NO merit increases and NO yearly bonus. Run away from this company. Everyone is burnt out, a lot of weekend work, and on top of it- no monetary incentives. Most people that worked in the company a long time are workaholics whose whole personality is the company. Run away.
