Pros

The flex time really helps with work/life balance. The team I work with are all fantastic.

Cons

No cons for my current team, but the hiring process for me had a lot of issues. The lack of communication from HR was terrible. I was sent an offer letter for the position and was supposed to start within a couple weeks. I was emailed on Friday and was supposed to start on Monday. So obviously I left my other job by then. Long story short, 5 months later, I was finally started. I only received updates from HR when I reached out to them. At one point I wanted to see how long it would take for them to reach out to me…a month went by and nothing. So again, I had to reach out for an update. My savings was gone and part of my retirement. I was never offered any compensation and barely got an appropriate apology. I understand there were probably issues out of their control, but communication goes a long way. I was also told this position came with yearly bonuses, which is false.

Pros

Remote Work, Flex Schedule, Benefits are decent enough.

Cons

It is very much a boys club between management, leads, and HR. HR is there to protect the company, not you. The moment you have something crazy happen (and you will because most people in positions of power are old retired navy guys who cant even work a computer usually and would rather praddle on about "the good ole days") and you report it to HR, you immediately will be retaliated against, even when HR says you wont. Its tough to say how you wont when they immediately inform your supervisor. I also hate how they are an "inclusive" company, and yet I have been called more slurs and received more backlash for being LGBT when its not even being presented, I just want to log in, work, ask questions, log off.
