Pros

The training and team are structured well to ensure success accross the organization.

Cons

The AI hype train is real and necessary teammates were lost to afford budget for it. Admittedly it's their first layoffs in years but it still stings.

Pros

- Good benefits - Company culture is inclusive but can be very surface level - the best thing is the people

Cons

- obviously dependent on organization and team, but everything seemed very corporate political - felt like leadership was investing less in the employee experience - at an IC level, not sure of sr. leaderships vision
