      Pros

      The best benefits and work life balance of all time.

      Cons

      Not good pay for junior employees living locally to home office. A bit of a lack of transparency between senior leaderships goals and the rest of the company. Company strategic goals are just words on paper to make everyone feel good. Senior leadership makes low level decisions and seems to find a shiny object that redirects what everyone works on. You have to stop something you’ve been working hard on to appease leadership curiosity. Senior leadership has a hard time trusting experts at lower levels. Prioritization problems like other companies, but the budget is SO SMALL that we have to say no to 100 projects that could make us money because there is one project taking up the budget that gets everyone new computers. Weird cannibalism in the portfolio.

      An Ok place to work but not for long. The longer you work here, the worse things get.

      Pros

      Decent pay, annual raise, decent benefit package

      Cons

      Micromanagement- upper management should learn how to process or spend a couple days in regular employees shoes to learn how a day to day goes in the job. All management does is sit in meetings and plot behind employees backs making decisions that ultimately make their jobs harder or even laying them off to outsource jobs. Then they set limitations on how many people can be off in a day. This is the reason I left this company. Too many secrets, regular employees are doing trainings, and too many people making decisions that shouldn’t be. Nice benefits but you can’t even take the time off you need. Working in new business will take a huge toll on your mental stability

      Thanks for taking the time to write a review. While we’re glad you enjoyed our compensation and benefits, we’re disappointed to hear that your overall experience was unsatisfactory and caused you to leave. Employee wellbeing is a top priority here. We provide paid time off, wellness funds, employee resources for mental health assistance, and more. Our people are our greatest asset, and we strive to support them the best we can.
