Pros

This company actually cares about their employees. They are constantly looking for ways to help employees grow and be more effective both in their personal and professional lives. The work life balance is great. I've never been asked to compromise family (or weekend or evening) time for work. Leadership lives the values, acknowledges when they're wrong, and listens to employees who want to redirect when things get off-track. It's refreshing to work at a company that doesn't just give company culture lip service to snag people in recruiting—culture is something they actually use to guide decisions and behavior.

Cons

deductible on health plan is a little high—but they make up for it with a generous HSA match plan

Pros

At the end of my tenure, I really have no pros.

Cons

I'm pretty sure I was "quietly laid off", in the effort of sneaky downsizing without having to actually do formal layoffs. This place was a godsend and a great place to work on my small independent team, and I did great. Then they did massive restructuring, added layers of hierarchy, added process, and basically just starting running a creative team like a line of factory workers. I had a horrible time with my manager on so many different levels, and felt validation when others would reflect the same, but I reflect what everyone else says - narcissistic, micro managing leadership that I now understand play manipulation games. I was put on a performance improvement plan and finally quit due to burnout, stress, and the dissolution of a role and a team that I had from before. They constantly push for solutions and deliverables, but I never really saw anything I delivered actually get treated and implemented with respect. Company policies and siloed team policies and procedures stymie actual effectiveness, and it seems like the leadership acts as your strict grade school teacher rather than having your back.
