Pros

Used to be a great place to work. Employees came first but the culture is changing as the old regime leaves and new leaders enter

Cons

Overwork their people as they try to accomplish lofty goals with small resource pool. It’s about making numbers now. It’s no longer about what the customers experience.

Pros

Unlimited PTO, decent compensation, some flexibility re: hybrid remote working arrangements

Cons

Incredibly siloed (information sharing is poor to terrible), lack of process maturity, constantly dealing with layers of people who don't know or don't care, and while the larger org has made some great choices to support employees, it's felt like hollow lip service at a team/functional level. I don't need swag - I need investment in my development to be an effective employee and feel like my work has some kind of impact.

Pros

The overall company has great philosophy and is trying to do the right thing. At the high level, though. Sounds great on paper.

Cons

Those awesome values don't trickle down into every part of the company, and some parts or the company are not inclusive, not diverse, and mid management promotes their friends, and not those who actually deserve it or who are even doing the work. Compensation is meager for the industry, and they use stock awards as an excuse to pay ridiculously low base salary.
