Pros

- Salary was fair (the rest not so much/benefits are not that great either) - I liked my peers that I worked with

Cons

- Missing fair policies across the board - Terrible decision making - Departments function separately, with separate rules - Creativity takes a back seat on everything, despite what they tell you - Management plays favorites (if you are chosen, you get to have work from home days and more, if you are not chosen, good luck) - Given that this is a family oriented company, they sure don't give you a good maternity leave - This company's main concern is profit sadly. And don't tell me that this is why we have jobs. The profit can be split up more so that we have better benefits and maternity/paternity leave etc. Instead they keep it all so that they can show how much they are growing YOY.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
