Pros

Product is okay Ping pong in the office Office was remodeled Free soda

Cons

Politics like you wouldn't believe. To the point where you might as well not talk to anyone. He's related to him, who use to work with her, and now they are in laws. You said what!? Stay away from this company. No one cares to make it better.

Pros

Talented and supportive peers across teams, with opportunities to collaborate with capable professionals. Occasional perks such as catered meals and team events.

Cons

Management culture can feel unpredictable, with job security often uncertain. There have been instances where employees with strong performance histories, including those who had recently received positive feedback or recognition, were exited without prior warning or a formal PIP, raising concerns about the consistency and transparency of performance management practices. Promotion criteria are not always clearly tied to demonstrated results. Advancement can favor visibility and polished self-presentation over consistent execution and delivery, which undermines confidence in the organization’s meritocracy. Confidentiality of employee surveys is not always perceived as reliable. When feedback appears traceable to individuals, it discourages candid input and limits the effectiveness of these channels.
