Pros

The people you work with are great! But not management.

Cons

Long Hours, no OT , and they dont care about your quality of life or growth. Some people are working 24hrs none stop for several day, and they wont even compensate you or make changes to avoid these. Many people are quitting now, and moving on to better positions.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how important work-life balance and professional growth are, and it's surprising to hear that these areas have been neglected. Your comments about staff working extended hours without adequate compensation and the impact on their quality of life are taken very seriously. We do have a well-defined overtime policy and leaders check in with their teams on a regular basis, this perhaps wasn’t as visible as necessary in this instance. Our goal is to create a supportive and sustainable work environment where everyone feels valued and has opportunities for growth. We appreciate your advice to leadership and will ensure it is communicated to the relevant teams. Your feedback is crucial in helping us improve, and we hope to make meaningful changes that reflect our commitment to our employees' well-being. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. John Piombino Principal | Head of HR, US

Pros

Flexible work environment was great. They're pretty good on diversity.

Stressful work for sure, but I've heard it varies depending on your location. They do random layoffs.
