Pros

Unlimited PTO (but only for business unit employees. CSAs don't get any)

Cons

Tone deaf upper management, limited opportunities for advancement, classic "boy's club" mentality, poor marketing and sales efforts affect employee compensation regardless of your job title. Also, CSAs are treated like dirt. The company silos groups so they aren't aware of what's happening in other groups, such as mass layoffs and terrible benefits. This is not a good place to work at all.

Pros

WFH, equipment provided, flexible schedule.

Cons

Short breaks, weird metrics system, does anyone really win the bonuses? And is everyone #1 with their numbers and crushing it? It can feel discouraging and inauthentic when you’re proven right with promotions being nonexistent 98% of the time.
