Thank you for the feedback. As a decentralized organization, we rely on strong team‑level ownership, and we recognize that can create challenges around visibility and consistency if we’re not intentional. Maintaining an open culture matters to us because we believe, and have seen over the last 40 years, that our environment promotes innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit. Our rewards structure remains focused on fairness, transparency, and merit‑based recognition.

Pros

Great benefits (e.g. 6% of salary 401K matching program, 6-week sabbatical after working 4 years). Good opportunities to switch roles within company. Most employees are great to work with.

Cons

Slightly lower pay relative to other companies. Management might be on a course of changing strategies across orgs too quickly, resulting in too many things breaking and failed outcomes. Removed 3 days a week in-office policy, which may lead to missed talent acquisition opportunities.
