Pros

Everyone who is below a Director level is great to work with. We're all trying to maintain the fun casual culture we are quickly losing. Remote work for most, but not all.

Cons

The company as a whole has gone through a lot of restructuring this year and leadership has done a horrible job at communicating and creating new processes to navigate the changes. It feels like they're intentionally putting us all through hell to cleanse all the people they don't see fit here without having to lay them off. The great thing is they're hiring a lot of people they've let go, but the problem is that no one has been trained enough to understand how to navigate processes, projects, work streams. Processes are always changing and it's not always necessary. It's all just one hot mess. DEIA efforts have been cut significantly and this company just doesn't make you feel human anymore. They treat us all like working machines. Cut RSU's from everyone and are only rewarding employees who receive an exceptional rating during their review. I've worked here for 3+ years and have realized this place has stunted my growth and salary. We are underpaid and are not rewarded for any efforts. You would think some of us would at least qualify for a bonus, but that doesn't exist here. The most acknowledgment we get is a Community post, email, or teams chat that says we did a good job. I was making more than people in my field when I first started here and now I found out after 3 years they make significantly more than me at the company they've been at for the same amount of time. There is not much room to grow here and only certain teams get promotions.

Pros

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

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
