Pros

Unlimited PTO is offered and can be a valuable benefit for those who feel comfortable using it; though, consistently heavy workloads can make it challenging to take full advantage of the policy. There are frequent career opportunities due to high turnover in certain departments, which can create openings for employees looking to advance or move into new roles.

Cons

Within the last year or two leadership has operated in a top‑down manner, dictating priorities and timelines with limited input from the teams doing the work. When projects don’t go as planned, accountability is often pushed downward rather than shared. In recent years, the company has increasingly favored lower‑cost, less‑experienced hires, which has resulted in the loss of several senior employees and institutional knowledge.

Pros

I've really enjoyed working here because of the supportive culture and the flexibility of working from home. The team is collaborative, management is approachable, and I've had plenty of opportunities to learn new skills and take on different responsibilities within my role. If you enjoy continuous learning and a positive work environment, it's a great place to work.

Cons

The biggest downside is the limited opportunities for career advancement. It can be difficult to move up or receive title changes, even after taking on additional responsibilities. Compensation also tends to be below market compared to other companies offering similar roles and responsibilities, which can make it challenging to stay long-term.
