Pros

Get hired quickly. They are always scrambling to fill positions.

Cons

The bulk of the workforce here are recent graduates. The management take advantage of their employees through wage theft, harassment, and discrimination. They encroach upon time off as much as possible (calling when our sick or on vacation, taking out of PTO as a penalty, etc.,). The company culture here is so atrocious that jokes about committing suicide are commonplace and come from management down.

I am sincerely sorry to hear this about your experience. Your perspective is very important, and your words have deeply impacted me. I truly would have hoped for and continue to hope for the opportunity to understand more about these instances you’ve mentioned so I encourage you to do more than simply post on social media. We take claims of harassment and discrimination very seriously and would greatly appreciate more information about any specific instances you may have experienced. Unfortunately, none of these issues were raised to me, the managers or our Human Resources Professional. We have always encouraged colleagues and/or team members to speak up when issues arise so we can address them immediately before they become more serious. Each of us are empowered and encouraged to do so to ensure the culture of trust, respect, and wellness that we value is maintained. Please consider reaching out to me directly or anyone in management with whom you’d feel most comfortable as a new trajectory can always be plotted. For instance, we have heard from the team that providing perks such as paid lunches with teaching and learning opportunities and team building events are add value to the team collaboration and individual experience. We pride ourselves in maintaining a very diverse, inclusive team of associates who have passion and excitement for what they do. We also strive to have a competitive salary and bonus structure for the industry and encourage individuals to be open about their pay expectations prior to and during their employment. Our company culture is incredibly important to us and working together to communicate and support a balance of wellness and productivity is a top priority. I understand we always have opportunity to improve and would appreciate your or any of our team member’s partnership in creating a great place to work.

Pros

The people that I worked with were great!

Cons

Leadership—particularly within the development team—is disorganized and inconsistent. There is a heavy reliance on AI tools to meet unrealistic turnaround expectations, to the point where employees are effectively pressured to use AI just to complete assignments within the timeframes imposed. This creates a quality vs. speed conflict and undermines thoughtful, thorough work. Deadlines and expectations are frequently miscommunicated. Employees are told to “take the time needed” to complete tasks, but are later criticized for not finishing work in extremely short timeframes (sometimes within an hour or less). This creates a frustrating and contradictory work environment where it is difficult to understand what is actually expected. There is also a lack of clear processes, standards, and accountability, which leads to inefficiencies and inconsistent outcomes across projects. Communication between leadership and staff is limited or unclear, and feedback is often reactive rather than constructive. Overall, the environment can feel high-pressure without the structure, support, or transparency needed for employees to succeed.
