Pros

Competitive salary, WFH (but hybrid enforcement starting in August), some great ICs.

Cons

Lets talk numbers. In the last 6-12 months, Over 75% folks left in Finance and over 60% left in Accounting. Why?? Horrible management, toxic work environment, zero support and growth opportunities. Managers just don't care or value you. You are just a headcount and will be replaced in a second. You have been warned! Good luck!
