Pros

Great company brand and benefits/perks. The CEO seems truly invested in the vision. The direct teammates you work with are all usually very friendly and supportive but that's mostly because you are all suffering through it together.

Cons

The HR leadership is more concerned with scoping up more slices of the department pie than actually investing in the company and the employees; which is heartbreaking considering it's the HR department. It was incredibly political and at no point did I ever feel like people assumed good intent. I have seen leaders be put on PIPs without any intention of actually intending to help them improve and clear acts of gender and racial discrimination with no follow-through from the ER department. Truly sad, as this company has such potential.

Pros

The company offers good benefits and company wide perks.

Cons

The Finance and Accounting department suffers from favoritism, nepotism, and poor leadership. Promotions and opportunities appear to be driven more by personal relationships than by performance, contributions, or expertise. The Accounting Controller demonstrates biased and unprofessional leadership, which has created a culture of low accountability and poor morale. High performers are often overlooked while favored individuals continue to advance despite limited contributions. The department relies heavily on outdated and manual processes that create inefficiencies and unnecessary work. There seems to be little urgency to modernize systems or improve operations. The culture also tolerates underperformance, with inconsistent expectations and accountability across team members. This can be frustrating for employees who value merit, professionalism, and continuous improvement.
