Pros

- Excellent Diversity Equity and Inclusion programs and training. It was very clear to me that DEI was an actual value of the company. - Good communication from CEO and execs to company. Regular company meetings with Q&A and free-form coffee hours for connecting about non-work topics as much or more than work (both were over video conferencing while the company was working remotely during the pandemic. I only worked there during the pandemic). - Really thoughtful, responsive and proactive to employee' needs caused by the stress of the pandemic and working remotely.

Cons

Salary was near the low end of average for similar jobs in the area.

Pros

​- Some teams were great to collaborate and have a chat. Good way to stay in touch and network - Nice location of their corporate office - Monthly company socializing and other events - Free food and company swags - Decent benefits package - Casual tech company attire that you see nowadays - Executives are accessible

Cons

- Felt like a bro culture during my time there - Cronyism and nepotism, so good luck getting a promotion to Senior or higher level role - Turnover rate - Pay was low compared to same role of other neighboring companies - Lacks cognitive diversity (not to be mistaken by the other definition of diversity, they're good on that). - They seem to hire like minded mannerism - Some of the people who's been there for decades or longer are stuck with their outdated ways of thinking - Some of the new people there were left to be guessing around and figuring things out themselves - 20+ years and still acts like a startup
