Pros

Fantastic, hard-working, and fun team members make the days bearable.

Cons

This once unicorn of a company has taken a torrential downturn due to poor executive leadership and lack of strategy. Communication doesn’t exist and departments don’t know how and don’t want to work together. In the year that I worked there, there were 4 rounds of layoffs. After the most recent round, the CEO clarified it was because “we are not a charity” and took no accountability for the avoidable layoffs. Long hours and little recognition mean motivation doesn’t exist. Think twice before even interviewing here. I don’t foresee this company ending well.

Pros

The ONLY positive is the people doing the work. An amazing group of professionals doing everything they can to make it worth while operating in a complete absence of leadership.

Cons

Immediately reduced compensation for ALL employees post-acquisition. Poor benefits (no 401k match, no FSA/HSA match), toxic culture, tone deaf “leadership”, employees are not valued or respected. Large scale layoffs have already begun and will likely continue. Flexible PTO sounds nice until you realize it just means they won’t have to pay out for the hours you’d accumulated over the year when they lay you off. They have made it clear through actions and words that they have zero respect for the legacy employees post-acquisition. Decisions are made in a silo by people who don’t know the downstream effects of their decisions because they don’t care.
