Management is oblivious to low morale

Pros

San Diego is a great home base.

Cons

Morale is so low and staff is afraid to speak out even on the "confidential" employee survey because they do not trust management. Look under the hood and you will find a lot of hr issues that end up getting swept under the rug versus dealt with in a fair way.

Pros

- The people you work alongside are the only real positive. Many coworkers are talented, supportive, and genuinely good to collaborate with.

Cons

- A “this is how we’ve always done it” mentality that discourages innovation - Noticeable decline in culture and overall direction since the CEO change - Decisions consistently prioritize shareholders over employees - Very limited career growth opportunities - Minimal benefits compared to industry standards - Outdated technology stack that slows progress - Workloads that are often unrealistic and unsustainable - Increasing push for more in-office days, reducing flexibility - Extremely low bonus of only 1%, given in lieu of raises
