Pros

Good benefits, yearly bonuses, unlimited PTO for salaried employees, good 401(k) options.

Cons

Frequent restructuring and department‑level layoffs have created an environment with limited job security and few clear paths for advancement. Although the company emphasizes an “employees first” philosophy, ongoing reorganizations and realignments often tell a different story. After operating as a primarily remote organization since COVID, the sudden shift to a mandatory return‑to‑office policy for anyone within 25 miles of an office has added additional strain and inconsistency. The organization is currently in the middle of a multi‑year growth strategy that has resulted in role eliminations, department consolidation, and reductions across multiple business units. Until this stabilizes, it may be challenging for employees to feel secure or see long‑term career opportunities. Advancement has also become increasingly dependent on internal connections rather than transparent performance‑based criteria. Additionally, higher management receives quarterly bonuses, regular promotions, and recognition for improvements when they're not the ones doing the work. This is not a "Top 100 Places to Work" when they're constantly letting people go and changing their business model/outlook.
