Toxic but good pay

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Pay is good, especially for those who were around for the stock growth. 2. Work with smart folks typically.

Cons

1. Extremely toxic work culture, where teammates throwing each under the bus, stealing each others scope is not uncommon. 2. They increased the BE distribution to 15% - 20% recently so just more people they can layoff. At the end of every half its like the hunger games with everyone trying to survive to the next half.
