Pros
The office location and work / life balance is nice. The team members I worked with day-to-day were knowledgable, collaborative, and fun to be around. I'm grateful that I had an incredible team lead who I was able to learn a lot from. However, your overall experience is fully dependent on who your manager is and which project(s) you are placed on.
Cons
This review only applies to the management and senior leadership at the company, in which the experience I had with them was shocking, saddening, and left me truly embarrassed to have worked here. There was a complete absence of feedback or performance reviews from my manager, offering little to no guidance for improvement or growth. Company policies- from remote work to promotions- are unreliable, illogical, and change on a whim. Employees do not have the ability to provide feedback to others at the company, and there is essentially no HR department. Leadership is stingy- the pay is minimal and there are no bonuses. It's difficult to believe that they actually care about anything outside of protecting their public facade / reputation. The workplace culture is filled with micro-management, suspicious politics, and serves as a prime example of all that's wrong with corporate practices. Most of all, leadership was dishonest and handled situations extremely inappropriately- false information was provided to supervisors and team members, and they are willing to conceal the truth to protect personal interests. Though I genuinely enjoyed and learned from working with my team members, I really can't speak positively towards the management style at this company. In terms of professional growth and opportunities, you'll find little to none here. I don't recommend working here.
