Pros

Great employee groups, great teams to work with, the people are wonderful. REMOTE positions!

Cons

CEO continuously lays off people. She has laid off more than she has hired. You will work very hard and perhaps more than the usual 45 hours per week (NOT including lunch). They like to claim one thing about their environment, when in fact it's something different. Might be sabotaged if they want to control you. No way to reach Human Resources other than leaving them a message to contact you.

Pros

Work from home is only pro

Cons

So many issues. No raises. Layoffs everywhere. When those happen you have to do extra work (no additional pay) Toxic culture Leaders are DINOSAURS who should be cut. C suite delusional on growth expectations Run away from this place and don’t ruin your career.
