Pros

One of the biggest strengths is the flexibility—whether it's remote work options or understanding around personal commitments, leadership truly respects work-life balance. The culture is inclusive, kind, and collaborative, which makes it easy to feel connected even in a hybrid environment. Management is approachable and genuinely invested in employee growth. Cross-functional teamwork is encouraged, and there's a strong emphasis on DEI, which I appreciate.

Cons

If I had to mention a challenge, I'd say that some processes could be streamlined a bit more, especially as we scale. But overall, it's a great place to work with a team that cares.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are solid, flexible PTO is a big plus, work life balance is pretty strong, it’s a decent place to work, but not somewhere you’d want to stay too long

Cons

-Salaries are on the lower side and raises and promotions are currently frozen -there’s a lot of silos, working cross functionally across the organization is difficult -there have been a lot of layoffs over the past 2 years, most everyone is stretched thin
