Pros

Nothing good to write here

Cons

Manager yelled at me so loud in the middle of the office that other employees came to me afterwards and said that wasn't OK and to report to HR. Also company fired nearly 100 people all at once with a disgusting pittance of severance, blocking many from annual stock vesting/401K/bonuses even if you were within days of vesting. Such poor experience.

Pros

Free lunches, Gym, some great people

Cons

After months of the CEO saying no layoffs - fired nearly 100 people with a pittance of severance, significantly less than competition, during the pandemic. I should have read the reviews when I applied and stayed away

Pros

The people are amazing to work with. They have an outstanding culture and have a work hard play harder mentality. They try to bring in little perks to brighten your day. Also offered great benefits and several fun parties throughout the year.

Cons

It felt as if career growth was almost non existent. Went several years without a raise or promotion, however was expected to take on more responsibilities. Work and home life separation especially around the holidays was very poor. Spent may nights and weekends working.
