Pros

remote work that's about it

Cons

Its a running joke they only promote the lowest end performers and the high performers are asked to do the actual work. They put managers in positions but they have no management experience.

Pros

Senior management is very in tune with work life balance and offering career advancement

Cons

Human Resources team is very clickish and while outwardly presents to be a resource for employees that is not always the case.
