Pros

Your peers are great to work with. Fun, like minded group. The perks they offer are great and on par with a google/meta. The pay is competitive

Cons

Management is poor within IT specifically but around the company the management lacks compared to other more established placed. Hours can be long, nights and weekends can be typical during periods of the year. No clear path to grow your career in IT here. Unclear how work gets distributed with some people working on fun and interesting projects and others stuck monitoring the environment and doing boring/repetitive tasks.

Good food, bad outlook

Pros

Food is great, above market compensation, excellent benefits

Cons

Political. Passive aggressive. Toxic. The work is not interesting. Very siloed. Management wants very little to do with managing. Lots of backstabbing. Known for bait and switch with job descriptions once someone is hired. Spend money like it is going out of style and their strategy does not seem to work like it once did. SBF is a good representative of what is wrong with the firm. Morale is tanking.

Pros

Smart, effective, and kind coworkers. Short on workplace politics, high on intellectual honesty, excellent culture. I had a great manager and plenty of opportunities for growth. Compared to competitors, AFAIK: --relatively open and collaborative internally --the only firm I know of without a noncompete, but turnover remains low

Cons

They have been trying pretty hard on D&I stuff, but it's still not where anyone wants it to be. Not sure how JS compares to the rest of the industry in this regard, though.
