Pros

As far as corporations go, this is one of the better ones. Most of leadership cares about their employees, and the company has recently gone fully remote.

Cons

Some leaders at the highest levels speak a good game, but their actions speak louder. The CEO is a wonderful person who unfortunately seems to have some blind spots when it comes to his executive leadership.

Stable career but low pay, no advancement opportunity

Pros

Good work-life balance. Everyone who works here is amazing.

Cons

Management does not recognize and reward accomplishments or the impact you had on a project/team. Opportunities to advance your career are slim to none. Management has no incentive or motivation to help you. Requests for salary adjustments are met with skepticism, rejection, gaslighting, and deflection. The executive team intentionally devised the raise/promotion system to be secretive and vague so that they can save as much money as possible while being able to pocket the rest. Robert Frist addresses the company in regular town hall meetings and happily reports record profits from his lavish home office, while many of us have to suffer below average salaries for our titles/responsibilities and struggle with bills, rent, and groceries. All while the products we build generate "record profits."
