I can't recommend anyone work here

Pros

Decent pay and benefits, most people work 2-3 days in office. They offer summer fridays where you're encouraged to sign off around noon if possible

Cons

They have been doing layoffs every six months for over two years, people are being overworked constantly with leadership expecting everyone to pick up the slack with minimal support. The CEO is wildly inappropriate, and will go on tangents about politics, LGBTQ, sexualize female employees, and openly name and shame people -- all during townhall meetings. There is also immense nepotism, the CEO has surrounded himself with family members to ensure that he can't be removed. This has become so common that no one bats an eye. This has a trickle down effect on the entire culture where directors will openly criticize their reports as long as it benefits them. There are promises of promotions but the reality is that they will lay you off before you get promoted. If you want a stable job then don't work here.

Pros

Remote work 2-3 days a week, Summer Fridays, although they timeframe seems to get less and less every year, Employee stock discount program , Fitness center on site for $10/month

Cons

No longer receive early releases, which would be fine if we hadn’t gotten them every Friday for at least 5+ years, Mass layoffs every few months, lack of communication, being told everything is great and then more people are let go.
