Too many changes

Pros

People culture at HQ is good. Good co-workers. Good benefits. Friendly working environment.

Cons

Too many re-orgs and shifting of plans. Would periodically hear about a couple positions being eliminated and people being let go. Seemed like team was being "refreshed". Felt like a cog. Moveable or replaceable. Lacking in diversity. Good about saying the right thing publicly but internally still runs on the typical biases leading to the same kinds of people being advanced.

Pros

The culture and some people are nice

Cons

The office is a disorganized dungeon. The permanent staff are stuck up jerks. The pay is embarrassing and not worth it.
