Pros

People are great. Great opportunities for career development (especially for people right out of college). I feel like I am a much stronger employee than before I started. Company also have decent benefits that are in line with the market.

Cons

No incentives for top performers to stay. With new performance metrics, it doesn't reward good work and instead fosters mediocre performance and negatively punishes employees who do great work. As leadership shifts, it's obvious that the company is prioritizing money over their employees. "More with less" is something that I heard the CFO say and it really struck a nerve. It is not a people-first company anymore. Pay increases are also significantly decreasing despite inflation and managers are unable to help support and champion their hard working employees the way they'd like to. Also, diversity and inclusion is non-existent and feels extremely performative. And unless you're willing to live in Modesto, there is no room for advancement. And while there is a shuttle, who wants to spend that much time on a shuttle when you can find another job closer to home (especially one that offers more remote work opportunities and higher pay).

Pros

* Historically, a company people were genuinely proud to work for—strong culture, clear values, and a sense of loyalty *I could have seen myself building a long-term career here and often spoke highly of the company to others *Strong early-career development and brand recognition

Cons

*Erosion of trust driven by abrupt, poorly communicated decisions *5-day in-office mandate for some offices rolled out with ~2 months notice, removing autonomy employees previously had, adding unnecessary strain to already demanding roles, and significantly disrupting employees’ day-to-day lives *Parental leave benefits were significantly reduced in a way that feels misaligned with the culture and “family-owned” values the company has historically emphasized. This change has been a meaningful source of frustration and disappointment for many employees *Poor communication on major changes—including benefits and office policy updates, which were not consistently or transparently shared *Employee feedback does not appear to be meaningfully incorporated into decision-making, even when concerns are raised through formal channels * The culture has shifted dramatically. What used to feel fun and energizing now feels rigid and overly monitored, with less trust and autonomy than before *As a result, the company risks losing strong, previously loyal employees and becoming less competitive in attracting new talent
