Pros

In office perks - meals, etc.

Cons

Leadership. The Senior staff was disconnected from their employees and expected that everyone would always agree with them. Leads were put in positions to agree with senior staff and didn't have a grasp of their teams jobs. They actively pursue DEI hires & if you aren't one you are scrutinized. There is nepotism with leads getting their family members hired. The culture is awful, every team member will stab you in the back to gain favor with your boss. The unlimited vacation policy is not real. You can expect to work 80+ hrs per week & if you are a woman that works for a man or vice versa expect to be treated differently. I hated everyday of going to work at this place. Jack is not a leader.

Pros

Good work from home policies and good ma/paternity benefits. I believe is headed for long term solvency and larger market share. Good for equity holders.

Cons

The company has taken the turn away from growth and into profitability. With that has come the decision to forego a health work culture for one that values over performance pared with underpay.
