Pros

Decent work life balance with benefits such as work from home and 20 vacation days for new hires. Base salary appears competitive on the surface.Company is in high growth mode, which offers good opportunities for increased responsibilities and career advancement.

Cons

Lacks transparency from management on the direction of the firm. Highly political and frustratingly lacks information sharing between groups. You often feel you are led in circles with BS responses to very simple inquiries, which impacts productivity. No equity comp component and self-paid parking can add up.

Pros

Excellent individual contributors and dedicated frontline teams who support one another through an incredibly difficult corporate culture.

Cons

Leadership within the Technology and Security organization operates entirely on fear, micromanagement, and self-preservation. Transparently reporting organizational risks or highlighting operational gaps is treated as a personal threat by management rather than a professional duty. The leadership style relies on moving goalposts, extreme gatekeeping (like exhausting daily interrogation-style briefing traps), and intentionally vague performance feedback so success can never actually be achieved. Top-performing professionals are systematically targeted, isolated, and managed out through fabricated performance issues to protect executive reputations. Furthermore, the HR department is completely toothless. Detailed, explicit exit interviews outlining this exact abusive behavior and naming impacted employees are met with empty empathy but zero corrective action. HR routinely chooses to protect toxic executives over maintaining basic workplace ethics. Since the corporate takeover, the culture has entirely shifted from psychological safety to compliance through fear, causing widespread burnout, anxiety, and a mad dash for the exits by top talent. If you are considering a job here, do yourself a favor and reach out to former employees on LinkedIn, and hear about it directly.
