Pros

I was genuinely excited to join this company. From the outside, it looked like a place that valued openness, collaboration, and integrity. But from the start, I found the environment unwelcoming and closed off. Key information was often withheld, and collaboration felt more like gatekeeping than teamwork. I raised concerns to management on multiple occasions — about the lack of transparency, the poor communication, and how difficult it was to feel included. Each time, I was met with dismissal or silence. Nothing changed. • Good pay and benefits • Talented individuals trying to do their best despite the environment

Cons

• Unwelcoming culture masked by surface-level positivity • Withholding of important information that hinders your ability to succeed • Management is unresponsive and unwilling to address concerns • A culture where speaking up leads nowhere

Pros

People are committed to the company's mission and are very helpful. You get to work on interesting problems and you feel empowered to come up with innovative solutions and try new things. Pay ranges were revised upwards in 2024 due to market realities and the fact that the company stock has taken a beating for a extended period of time. CEO taking more of a hands on role and focusing the company on doing fewer things better instead of spreading too thin and trying to do too many things.

Cons

The stock has been taking a beating for a while now and that has demoralized some people. A lot of key leaders left ina short span of time around 2023-2024 which led to a lot of constant restructuring, uncertainty and churn.
