Pros

great perks (gifts, salaries, events) and work life balance - can log off after 5pm

Cons

Not the best place to grow. measuring your success more based on output rather than solving problems. Things are all over the place, projects don't even have PMs, and the projects you're working on could even get scrapped. Too many changes within the org hard to keep track of. Sucks that all your growth is dependent on your lead, if you get a mean lead, good luck getting a promotion. not much diversity. Could get stuck fixing accessibility issues all day.

Hello! Maintaining a stable work/life balance is so important, especially now that we've moved to digital by default. Mental health will always come first; you need to relax and unwind so you're ready to tackle new challenges during your workday. Our Talent teams assess all roles within the company on a regular basis to ensure all compensation is competitive. However, do reach out to your HR Partner if you'd like to discuss your options! I can take your feedback regarding benefits and pass it along to our management team for review. In the meantime, be sure to check out the Digital by Default benefits section of the Vault to learn more, as there are lots of work from home benefits for our employees that have been added throughout the year. Thank you for leaving a review!

Hello! Our culture and what we value are truly the things that set us apart. Our culture is the sum of all our parts; how creative, diverse in thought and background, and how impactful we are help makes that culture better every day. Regardless of our backgrounds, locations, or teams, our mission and values link us together. Being a constant learner is something we value highly. Our merchant's businesses need to change quickly; they need to pivot (sometimes overnight) to stay successful and we need to change just as fast to accommodate! There is a lot to learn, so if you feel like you need some help with managing your work, I'd definitely advise reaching out to your Team Lead. They are there to help. Thank you again for leaving a review!
