Pros

Lots of good people still working there Lots of interesting things to work on, plenty of room for advancement and different career pathways Making some progress in improving things

Cons

Operates at staffing levels far below what they should be. Seeking extra profit margin and record growth still seem to be more important than keeping valuable people responsible for the profit and growth.

With the exception of some teams, company culture is great. Opportunity to work on some cool stuff

Cons

Super strict on in office attendance and recently culture has taken a hit because of it. Also compensation and career progression aren’t very good past year 1.
