Pros

Everyone works remotely, from top to bottom. Competitive Salaries. Good benefits.

Cons

The former "good culture" that everyone talks about is dying off. Many people were hired at the middle and upper middle level who know nothing about the industry, and they overlook people who have been at the company for a long time. While everyone may not be required to know eDiscovery, there should be a mixture at the leadership level. Many of the leaders that were making the company great have left, along with talented individuals. The company is constantly advertising DEI, no judgment, and skill-based performance reviews, but it has become corrupt. There have been 3 mass layoffs, 2 of them recent. I am frustrated and have expressed some of it to leadership. They have suggested I leave instead of helping to resolve my issues. I guess they don't need anyone - a leadership vacuum.

Pros

They are a remote-first company, flexible (not unlimited) time off, and occasionally some kind very people.

Cons

There are literally no perks and this company is not as great as they think they are. Some leaders were downright arrogant and should be relieved of their posts. Treated poorly when you're not part of the in-crowd. Under-resourced in many areas. Workload was unmanageable and a it was a struggle to accomplish anything. Whiplash was common. Annual pay increases were minimal at best. Bonus plan and payouts lacked transparency. Cost of benefits was too high for spouse and family coverage. Career growth was not clear and promotions felt arbitrary. Layoffs were secretive and severance plans were not adequate.

Pros

Great people. Salary is good. Benefits are good. Cutting edge of e-Discovery with ample clients and opportunities for further innovation. Highly proficient coworkers and colleagues.

Cons

*This is largely dependent on the POD you're hired to as a Project Manager in my opinion* but workload can be very intense. Also believe this is highly dependent on the Pod, but opportunities for promotion seem to be harder to achieve than represented initially.
