Pros

It sometimes verged on a great place but never made it. Paid very well. Good benefits package. Lots of smart coworkers

Cons

Lots of progress over the years but In the early years respect for the customers was definitely missing. Semi-shady business practices with surprise auto-renewals. Much more straightforward now. Management didn't seem to have much respect for everyone below them.

Pros

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.
