Business Outlook

Pros

- People are knowledgable and very nice - Internally chats make it easy to communicate with people who share your interests - Many career growth opportunities - Company is growing, it's fun to be part of the growth

Cons

- I wish I saw the company do more for engaging remote workers. Company outings, encouraging community volunteering, and local meetups help with employee satisfaction and retention.

Complicit Toxic Bro Culture

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- If you're in with the bro club, you'll have protection for your job and a career path, even if you're incompetent - Great on-the-job training for honing data degradation - Unprincipled approach to basic business practice encouraged, especially if it helps the company's public image

Cons

- If you don't fit in with the bro club, you'll be targeted and set up to fail - No system in place to support: career development, whistleblowing, victims of various types and degrees of harassment - "Diversity & Inclusion" at this company exists as a public-facing facade which is not supported or encouraged internally
