      Pros

      good friendly people, work life balance

      Cons

      no visible career path. you career path only depends on your immediate boss. transparency is lacking especially above senior managers. every director has a different vision of the company and so they create confusion for the employees. needs a better higher management.

      Solid but imperfect place to work

      Pros

      Great product that really impacts and helps people, lots of interesting data challenges, great work life balance and good people. Growth opportunities are ok, but the company isn't growing quickly right now.

      Cons

      If you're not married or about to be, you might feel out of place. Technology organization is huge and disorganized, making getting things done across teams difficult. The company is not as data driven as it should be.
