Pros

If you're looking for a 9-5 job with low stress and don't mind a below market salary in exchange, then this is the place for you. I liked the casual atmosphere. Benefits were on par with market. The group I worked in was family friendly in the sense that managers were willing to accomodate adjusted work schedules but they did not allow employees to work from home.

Cons

No advancement opportunities or career growth. Jobs are very narrow in scope with little room to expand into a larger or more complex role. While this may be efficient for the company it makes for a very monotonous and excessively routinized job. Very little communication between departments except among management.

Pros

Overall, it’s not the worst place to work, but there are several shortcomings the company needs to address. The biggest positive is the people — about 95% of the team was great to work with and genuinely trying to do their best for the company and for themselves. The 401(k) match is strong, though it does require several years of employment before fully vesting. The overall benefits package is average — not exceptional, but generally decent.

Cons

Below‑market compensation and less‑than‑desirable annual raises and bonuses. Increases at the time of promotions were often limited due to a lack of employee leverage. Long‑term employees were not brought up to market rates, while new hires frequently came in earning more than those with tenure and proven performance. Subpar HR team — they are focused solely on protecting the company rather than supporting employees. Unfair practices regarding hybrid and remote schedules. Many employees are allowed to work remotely while the company preaches to the rest that remote work is not an option. Even individuals on the same team or within the same department are given different arrangements. Senior staff are often granted privileges that their direct reports are denied. They heavily preach cost‑cutting, yet allow certain teams to be wasteful and fund perks or community engagement events that fall short of their goals and misuse resources.
