Pros

They try really really hard to please employees ... things like free food, beer, gifts, etc. make it nice. One day you go to the mailbox and there's a beach chair waiting for you! Or, another day, you get workout gear sent to your home. That's nice.

Cons

That said, the REAL reason we're there is to make an impact. It's to make a difference. It's to contribute to something larger, and to use our skills and grow our skills while doing it. That is missing here. The HR department is woefully behind, and the leader of that division is clueless. The other senior leaders do performative DEIB at best. It's hard to be a person of color at this company, because the senior most leaders have no clue how to react - they just say the talking points, and then puke microaggressions all over the place.

Pros

Nice office environment with free food and drinks available. The gym and company perks are a nice bonus. There are also some genuinely good people on the team who make the workplace more enjoyable.

Cons

Management can feel overly political, and some managers appear to give more attention and opportunities to favorites rather than treating employees consistently. While the company talks about supporting mental health, the day-to-day culture does not always reflect that message. There is also growing uncertainty about long-term job stability as AI becomes more integrated into the work.
