Pros

Great people working for the company.

Cons

Upper management is way too top heavy and do not listen to the real concerns and issues of their employees, only concerned about hitting very unrealistic goals

Pros

• Generous PTO policy. • Excellent flexibility — there is genuine trust when it comes to managing your schedule, whether that’s stepping out for an appointment or handling family responsibilities during the day. • Summer Fridays (May–September) are a meaningful and appreciated perk.

Cons

• Onboarding could benefit from a more formalized structure beyond the initial IT setup. Much of the ramp-up depends on manager bandwidth, which can vary. • Given the company’s size and remote structure, it can sometimes be unclear which team or individual to contact for specific HR or operational needs. • In-office expectations would benefit from greater consistency. Policies can vary across teams and roles, and enforcement has not always been uniform. This can create confusion and occasional frustration, particularly for employees who consistently commute while others operate under different expectations. Clearer alignment would strengthen fairness and office culture.
