Pros

People were nice. Free coffee.

Cons

Las Vegas office: I was mislead during the interview process about what I would be doing. There is no greenfield development in the invest portion. There is a management person in an office that would scream and swear super loudly. With the door closed you could clearly hear the yelling from 20 feet away. That's not off-putting to a new employee. I was set up to fail because: 1. I didn't have a completely working computer for two weeks after hire. I had to purchase hardware from Best Buy to get it working properly. 2. I didn't have access to things I was being assigned to, after two months of asking via meetings and multiple emails. So I couldn't fix anything. I had to come into the office, although I only interacted with people from another office online. The company has a poor Covid-19 policy. Several people were infected in the first two months of my employment. There is so much turnover that no one barely knows the current systems. Management was in meetings literally all day and unavailable to "manage".

The company’s focus on AI and automation was genuinely valuable. It provided opportunities to learn new skills and stay current with emerging technologies.

Cons

• Workloads were consistently extreme, leaving employees with no real relief or balance • Employees were expected to work excessively long and exhausting hours on a constant basis • Daily expectations were unrealistically high, creating a cycle of stress and disappointment • The environment showed little regard for employee wellbeing or sustainable working conditions • Burnout became a constant risk due to sustained pressure and lack of support • Leadership showed no visible concern for struggling employees and failed to check in or offer help • Communication and support from top leadership were largely absent during periods of high stress • Colleagues were also overwhelmed and overworked, leaving little ability to provide meaningful support • The overall atmosphere created isolation and frustration due to lack of assistance and empathy
