Stay away, women

Pros

--Work-life balance is decent, and after lots of tenure with the company PTO is nice --New CEO is at least saying the right things, although he has yet to take any substantive action on the company's many problems

Cons

--I was all-but told that they had discriminated against me in pay and promotions because I'm female --Leadership chases whatever's popular on LinkedIn and fails to think critically about what the business actually needs --They messed up my standard, uncomplicated maternity leave and made it a major source of stress --They are removing WFH options, one of their few huge bonuses --There is surface-level promotion of inclusion, but it's a mirage. Racism and misogyny have become common

Profits over quality

Pros

The company had flexible work from home arrangements.

Cons

The pay was low and the benefits were marginal. They also do not provide PTO payment when leaving the job unless the state requires it. Advancement opportunities are slow and teams can be siloed.
