Pros

- A year ago I would have given it 5/5 stars. -The benefits *were* amazing, but slowly changed (not for the better) -Unlimited PTO -Work from anywhere

Cons

-Highly underpaid -Only get promoted if you're "in" with the leadership -The reward for hard work is...more hard work -A ridiculous amount of micromanaging -Constant layoffs, nobody is "safe". You don't find out someone was let go until you see on LinkedIn or their email bounces. Some communication would be nice.... -Leadership has no idea how to run departments, and has to have their hands in everything so it seems like they're "busy" to try and save their butts from the next round of layoffs. -Very infrequent (if any) merit increases, and they're definitely not anywhere near what inflation is. -Opportunities to move departments, if you want a demotion.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
