Great teammates, but micromanagement affects work-life balance

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Used to be a great place to work — talented, supportive teammates and a genuinely collaborative culture. The people are still the best part of the job.

Cons

Under the current management, micromanagement has become the norm and work-life balance has suffered. Engineers are given little autonomy, and there’s a persistent pressure to stay reachable outside normal hours.

Supportive culture but faces talent retention challenges

Content development specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.

Poor working conditions and poor treatment of longtime employees

Senior product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

flexible with remote work. free and heavily discounted products for employees

Cons

- private equity is slowly gutting the company and squeezing every last drop of blood out of those remaining - they continue to replace the hardest working, long time employees with cheap overseas outsourcing that produces poor results
