Stable culture but low pay

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good culture, slow paced, no pressure, stable and job security

Cons

Not much challenge, opportunity for advancement and learning, pay is on the low end. Most of the employees live in 2nd tier cities on the east coast that are less expensive. If you live in a tier 1 city, the pay is way below industry average.

Good work/life balance but poor management and communication

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work/life balance. Decent benefits. Fully remote role.

Cons

Management demonstrated clear favoritism, which negatively impacted team morale and fairness in the workplace. Communication was often ineffective, with instructions that were unclear or poorly explained. When clarification was needed, responses could be dismissive or demeaning rather than supportive. Additionally, certain team members contributed to an unprofessional environment by speaking to colleagues in a disrespectful and condescending manner. Overall, the lack of clear communication and respectful interaction made it challenging to work effectively.
