Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Free (main series) Games and Cards - Great in-office and company events multiple times a year - Hybrid Working - It's pokémon?!

Cons

- HR does nothing even when presented with evidence of inappropriate behavior from multiple individuals about the same person - Extremely long hours focused around west-coast US even if you are not based in that location - Very hard to get promoted. People will be jealous rather than happy for your success if you do
