Pros

Pre-PIO salaries were competitive along with great benefits and a collaborative and exciting environment. - Gym stipends - Education budgets - Frequent team events and social events. - Great work/life balance - Great healtchare - Great managers and talented team members

Cons

Post-IPO: -Healthcare went from fully covered to paid monthly, with increasing costs year by year -No real raises beyond 1-2% even if high-achieving or promoted - Bonuses are all equity grants, no cash bonuses -Employees within a 45 minute commute to a 'hub' office are required to be in-office five days a week. If you don't live close to one, you are fully remote. -Drastic staffing cuts have deteriorated morale and work/life balance. Teams are slow to hire and turnover is high. -Zero top-level interest or focus on employees. -Zero budgets for even quarterly team-building events. -Zero creative budgets
