Toxic culture with no work-life balance

Pros

They have decent benefits, that’s about it

Cons

Get ready for no work life balance because everything is a fire drill. People will call you when you’re on PTO. They don’t care. The culture set by the CFO and VP are toxic. Also there are manual processes everywhere. Avoid this place if you value your sanity.
