Pros

Beautiful office, good compensation, free food, free beer, convenient location and lots of company events.

Cons

"Speed wins" is the motto that prevails. Strategic long term planning isn't what is valued. Management often utilizes a tactic of creating false pressure to try to get employees to do more in less time which only seemed to create more stress and less quality. Don't try going to Human Resources for help, very little of what you say stays in confidence.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You mention in your review that one of your concerns is voicing issues to Human Resources. I apologize that you’ve had a negative experience. Our HR team strives to provide meaningful feedback to the business and improve channels of internal communication. My hope is that we can begin a conversation and build a level of trust between you and the HR team. I believe we’d both benefit from a more in depth discussion, so please feel free to reach out to me directly. I'd welcome the opportunity to meet in person. Beth Grous Chief People Officer

Pros

The pace and work/ life balance are very manageable and they are still pro remote work which is a huge benefit as a lot of companies push return to office. The benefits and salaries are great compared to the industry standards.

Cons

Lots of turmoil, changeover, layoffs and chaos caused by a recent re-org. ELT does not have vision or innovation outside of “AI” and it’s hard to feel confident about the long term success of the company. Lots of white men who lack creativity.
