Pros

good pay, good benefits, cool product

Cons

Not a lot of work/life balance. my manager would contact me at all hours of the day and night, weekends. They are a company that talks a lot about employees first, which was not my experience. Lots of gossip. I'd hear management share things about other employees personal lives that were completely inappropriate. Lack of respect for people's boundaries, like I had never seen before at a company. I was denied PTO several times and if I was able to take a day off since I was so burnt out, I got a guilt trip about it when I came back. I spoke to HR about it all of this and they just shrugged their shoulders and said "yeah, that's just how it is". Really disorganized management. Awful at communication. I'd be heads down on a project and when I'd present it to my manager, they'd talk to me like I was an idiot cause the project changed and didn't bother to tell me. most toxic work environment I have ever experienced.
