Pros

There are some really kind, genuine individual contributors.

Cons

Decisions are all made by a few people at the top of the organization. All decisions must run by them and approved by them to move forward. Often, great ideas are overlooked or shot down because the CEO or some other senior leader didn't think of them. Some recent positive reviews mentioned that the company moves fast and that anyone submitting a negative review may just not be able to keep up. This could not be further from the truth. Moving quickly in the right direction is great. Unfortunately, leadership and middle management often ask employees to run straight at a brick wall in the name of moving fast. It is maddening to warn management, "this approach won't work for x, y, and z reasons" just to be overruled, forced to move forward with the half-thought out idea, and then for the project to fail. It's demoralizing, and it's caused the company to lose a lot of very smart, motivated, and dedicated employees. Lastly, the culture is atrocious. Leadership regularly demean employees in meetings. The leadership team is small-minded and views diversity as unimportant and employees as widgets to do their bidding. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone who wants an intellectual challenge or an environment of respect.

Pros

I have been working at this company for a while now and I must say that it has been an amazing experience. The compensation is very competitive and the benefits are great. My coworkers are awesome and make coming to work every day a pleasure. The location is also very nice and the modern offices are a plus. I feel like the work I do is meaningful and I'm grateful to get recognition for being able to utilize my expertise everyday. The onboarding experience was the best I have ever had. I got to spend one-on-one time with everyone on the leadership team, which made me feel valued and welcomed. The team is very supportive and always willing to help. Overall, I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a great work environment, competitive compensation, and awesome coworkers. The onboarding experience alone is worth it!

Cons

While fully remote positions are available at this company, they are not offered for every role. However, I don't see this as a negative aspect. My role is hybrid, which allows me to work remotely when needed. I actually enjoy coming into the office and being around my coworkers, and the weekly free food is a nice bonus. Moreover, the company is very flexible and accommodating, and the leadership team values work-life balance.
