Pros

Ergs and fun kits mailed out to you for holidays and what not

Cons

Inattentive and no empathy HR Fake values - acting like they care about woman and POC but it’s a facade because they uplift white men who cherry-pick who they want to lay off and then hire contractors from India and Philippines to “maximize EBITDA”

Pros

Easy to meet expectations set by leadership if you know your role well, you can do it in <30 hours and will not be encouraged to do more. Best in class DEI program

Cons

Culture and business model seem to be slowly deteriorating, leadership focused on cost savings and bandaid fixes

Pros

Can’t seem to think of any

Cons

The company is chaotic, leadership is uninterested in growing and helping lower level employees. They are willing to over work everyone. If you value work-life balance and want to enjoy your work apply elsewhere
