Pros

Cons
Treatment of Employees: Employees are treated like numbers. Metrics for evaluating employees are centered around money. Employee evaluation metrics are increasing each quarter, though there is no evidence that workflows have become efficient enough to support this change. There is constantly a feeling of "you could have given more" and you are not often thanked for your hard work. Career opportunities: There isn't a clear correlation between the work you put in and opportunities. Opportunities are given to you based on what benefits the company, not what benefits you. Lack of work-life balance: There is pressure to work overtime and through lunch for all departments. 2-week paternity leave and 3-month maternity leave (1-month paid). Transparency: Management is not transparent. Recruiters and managers pitch positions as something much better than they are. Promotions are promised, but no official date is given. And, even when a date may be given, they sometimes change their mind. Scrappiness: This kind of culture is a result of poor internal processes and a lack of documentation of the product. So much time is spent looking for the one person who knows the answer to your question. Churn: It's high due to the stressful and disorganized environment. I believe I have been at the company longer than 40%-50% of the staff and I have only been here a year and a half.
