Pros

Dog friendly environment. Lots of smart, hard working co-workers. The application is loved by customers and is far superior than what exists in the market today. Fast paced, energy driven environment.

Cons

Upper management is mostly a toxic cesspool, that's to put it mildly. It's a highly political environment, instigated from the top-down riddled with favoritism. Your performance and contributions really don't matter. You'll work long hours and get things done in a week or two where at most companies it's 3 months, which you'll feel proud about only to be fired or laid off because of the continual back-stabbing and bad mouthing that comes from the top. It's a company where being popular with the C-suite is how you keep your job, not actually your knowledge or performance, except for the few in sales. At the individual contributor level folks are really supportive and helpful, as you move up the ranks many will barely give you the time of day, or scoff at you for asking for any guidance.

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
