Pros

Great culture and many talented people; Excellent ongoing training; Work hard but also play hard and try to help employees keep a balance; Good products and invest a lot into continued development; Leadership is approachable and transparent; Many opportunities to move into new positions and grow with the company.

Cons

Difficult to keep up with growth (a good problem but a problem nonetheless) and no real plan to manage growth; operational inefficiencies and silos take away from ability to provide outstanding service to clients; Company culture and few perks such as some free lunches and picnics do not make up for compensation being on the low end. The company and HR will have you believe it's such an amazing place to work that there's nothing like it out there - this is not the case, but many employees are stuck in this belief and don't command what they're worth, which stagnates the organization.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Teammate relationships during difficult days.

Cons

Paying out executive bonuses and Sr leaders while mid-level and lower employees had their bonus removed and their stock options taken away. This company is the epitome of making the rich richer while allowing the employees who are busting their bottoms to drown without monetary compensation. It was heartbreaking for me to see my team unable to receive any bonus monies while our executives received millions even though the decision they made resulted in the stock price dropping by over $100.
