      Great immediate team but poor executive leadership

      Pros

      Wonderful team mates & immediate/next level management.

      Cons

      Old boys club at senior & c-suite levels. In human treatment of veteran team members. Discriminatory toward thoughtful, conscientious, female voices. Flog those who do not bow down to "the man." Toxic culture at c-suite level & above. Zero concern for individual team members, Top leadership only padding pockets for themselves, while under-paying & under-valuing those who keep the cogs churning for most senior men to set themselves for nauseatingly, big pay-outs. Lots of propaganda (negative connotation) from highest levels akin to brainwashing while treating wide swaths of producers poorly in every way. All as evident in annual employee satisfaction surveys.

      Pros

      Acceptable salary, most people working here are legit. Not a bad place to start off your career if you have nothing better.

      Cons

      Medical benefits are bottom of the barrel, 3 months unpaid leave for childbirth, and complete lack of remote flexibility. Management claims that everyone works 5 days in office, but it really depends on the team. There exists hybrid and fully remote teams, but it's all kept quiet to prevent others from knowing and asking about it.

      Pros

      The people are great and there is a good work life balance.

      Cons

      Everything else. They hire a lot of people who are out of work so they can get good people for less than they’re worth. The benefits are an embarrassment. $5K deductible, no choices. Definitely do not come here if you want to have a child, there is no maternity (or paternity) leave. They will tell you the company is healthy and then they lay off 5-10% of the staff the following week.
