Pros

Great benefits Rewarding work Awesome colleagues Challenging & innovative technologies

Cons

Complete lack of executive accountability Failed attempts at transparency, ignoring glaring issues by dismissing problematic comments as "disgruntled" or "misinformed" opinions No ability to hire needed team members without intense approval process from top executives and no desire to restructure teams to get work done more effectively. Way too political and no real forum for letting the best ideas win.

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
