Good, but could be great.

Pros

The work itself is exciting and engaging, and I like my coworkers. There's a generally positive company culture that promotes employee welfare. The benefits are very good, especially retirement. The company has a great interest in giving back to the community and is very philanthropic. Torch has a reputation for quality work.

Cons

Very few opportunities for advancement. It seems like the only way to get a promotion is to leave the company. The salaries are notoriously low and people leave all the time for better offers, even if they don't like the job as much. High turnover. It's also not very diverse. Very few women or POC.
