Pros

Fully supportive team and onboarding infrastructure, clearly defined goals, strong leadership, powerful work ethic, and healthy culture. Most people have been working here ranging from 3-25+ years. I don't plan on leaving by choice ever.

Cons

It still feels like start-up sometimes, which I don't even think is a con

Pros

- the company is growing and moves fast but resources are easily navigable and simple to use - great transparency collaboration (no silos!) - everyone agrees on KPIs and what it means to succeed - leaders are focused on shared successes rather than growing their teams and domains

Cons

- the company moves at breakneck speed, so not good for anyone looking for an easy ride - while onboarding is structured, there is no hand-holding

Micromanaging, dishonesty, toxicity

Pros

Good pay and an interesting product to work on. Some great lower level employees and many very smart people to work with.

Cons

There are some middle managers who are extremely toxic and if you end up with one, beware. Micromanaging, lots of politics, and a lack of transparency. Lack of imagination and vision from leadership. Risk averse and slow to evolve. Upper management plays favorites. Some legitimately rude and even unkind people thrive in this tech org. Meeting-heavy culture.
