Pros

So much room to make impact on a growing company. Management hands you the reigns and lets you lead the charge. Very open communication between employees and mgmt through various channels - in person, at all-hands, through Slack and Niko; issues that are brought up by employees are addressed publicly. C level is not only accessible but so involved, their interest in their employees feels genuine. This is an environment where people are given the space to succeed in their roles, the opportunity to create structure for the company, and the support to move into a new direction if they choose. As a single mother of two kids, I would not be able to work here if it wasn't an environment that was supportive of families. There is ample PTO, flex time, and medical benefits that cover dependents 100%. There are frequently children in the office. There is a private room for nursing mothers with a refrigerator.

Cons

Nothing. I honestly enjoy coming to work every day, and working with people from all different backgrounds and lifestyles. The conversations around the lunch table are fascinating. There are people all around me who I find inspiring. I feel valued for what I contribute and given the space and support to continue growing professionally. I have never felt held back because of my background, gender, education, or lifestyle. I love it here.

Pros

Work life balance, some decent people

Cons

Leadership and HR need to provide more stability and consistency. Constantly changing priorities, processes, and initiatives every month creates confusion, increases stress, and makes it difficult for employees to focus on meaningful work. Many of these initiatives conflict with one another, leaving employees feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and exhausted. The new compensation guidelines have further damaged morale. They create the perception that the company is trying to reduce headcount through a "quiet layoff" rather than investing in and retaining its employees. Whether intentional or not, this has significantly eroded trust in leadership. Additionally, not providing annual raises for employees who consistently meet expectations is deeply disrespectful, especially in today's economic climate. At a minimum, compensation should keep pace with inflation. Expecting employees to maintain strong performance while their purchasing power continues to decline sends the message that their work and contributions are not valued. Employees want to do great work, but that requires stability, transparency, and fair compensation. Investing in the people who keep the business running will do far more for engagement and retention than a constant cycle of new initiatives and cost-cutting measures
