Pros

Great perks like a snack wall, fitness reimbursement, and free lunches. The biggest perk is the flexibility - managers are really flexible with needing to work from home, take time off for personal reasons, etc. which is a huge plus!

Cons

Career opportunities and growth are extremely limited. You are told to manage your own career and there are resources available to you, but when you try and use those resources or have career conversations with your managers you get nowhere. Open roles are often not "opened" at all but instead people are hand selected to move into them based on preferences from upper management. A lot of decisions are made based on who upper management likes and you have to be constantly worried about getting on someone's bad side and blacklisting yourself at the company. The pay is not at all competitive and there's no transparency into what the range for any role should be. The raises are minimal each year and if you received a spot bonus or a promotion within the last year or two it will be used against you to make your annual raise that much lower. Overall there's no focus on retaining the people they have, which is why so many people are leaving.

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.
