Horrible company

Pros

Very high pay. Seriously, this is honestly the only good thing about working here and it’s what keeps people here

Cons

Extremely toxic culture from the top down. Leaders micromanage relentlessly, goals and metrics change constantly, and there’s a pervasive fear that you’ll be fired at any moment. Many employees describe the environment as toxic and hostile. Insane restructuring. The company constantly restructures teams and processes, making procedures more convoluted rather than actually improving anything, it feels like chaos with no real direction. No real work‑life balance. You’re expected to commit to long hours and hustle culture. Work/life balance nearly doesn’t exist, and time off is basically useless because the work piles up anyway. Micromanagement and rigidity. Mandatory schedules (8–5 with mandatory lunch breaks), badge audits, and managers watching your every move make you feel like you’re back in high school. Performance pressure is brutal. If you don’t hit quota fast (often unrealistically high), you’re out — sometimes within 30 days of starting. It’s sink‑or‑swim with zero compassion. High turnover and layoffs. There are constant firings and layoffs, and people regularly share stories of coworkers being let go suddenly, even close to personal milestones like maternity leave.
