Pros

Decent benefits and work life balance

Cons

Deceptive hiring practices - the job roles/responsibilities are not accurately captured during hiring process. Roles could easily change once hired. Too many redundant positions and chaotic re-orgs within the company with outdated processes still in use - shows inefficient use of resources leading to cost cutting measures such as forced time off for employees. HR and senior management don't take employee's concerns seriously and there isn't much room for career growth within the company. Products/technologies are mostly average and not exactly the best in the industry

Pros

The strongest part of the company was the long-tenured employees and team members who were there prior to the leadership changes. They were knowledgeable, supportive, hardworking, and helped create a collaborative and positive culture despite the challenges brought by new management.

Cons

Finance leadership was one of the biggest issues at this company. The VP of Finance was overly micromanaging, and the CFO set unrealistic expectations while communicating in a condescending and arrogant manner. Employees with years of experience were routinely made to feel incompetent and undervalued, which created a toxic and demoralizing work environment.
