Pros

1. Market pay (means mediocre) 2. Many nice and talented people (who eventually leave) 3. Free high quality snacks and drinks (only at HQ and Phoenix) 4. Very good IT equipment (up-to-date laptop, software, etc) 5. Medical insurance premium is pretty good (good for single, have become better for family) 6. Recent introduction of Unlimited PTO (although this was actually bad for many existing employees; read in Cons)

Cons

SMOKE, AND MIRRORS. 1. Empty promises everywhere 2. Slow and unreliable remote internet access (VPN) 3. Terrible profits and returns 4. Many clueless individuals at the top upper management who have no idea or/and don't care what their departments' employees do/don't or accomplish 5. Aggressive, almost unethical labor allocation and reimbursement (no wonder returns are even worse) 6. Favoritism; almost nepotism 7. Restructuring almost every year 8. Always markets approachability of top upper management. In reality, they always try to avoid you (Please, those "Latte with a Leader" sessions do NOT count) 9. 5-year vesting period for 401k matching (20% after every year); absolute joke 10. Ignorance, almost advocacy of understaffing situations 11. Recent introduction of Unlimited PTO: Many employees have worked very hard and especially harder throughout the pandemic, and rightfully accrued PTO balances. Suddenly, Unlimited PTO is introduced and all employees are forced to use and deplete their hard earned legacy PTO before becoming able to use Unlimited PTO. Only idiots wouldn't understand that this was done explicitly to write off and decrease their payroll liability

Pros

Nice office environment, good amenities, supportive colleagues and solid benefits as well as opportunities to take on meaningful work and develop skills.

Cons

Management effectiveness is inconsistent and can create uneven workloads across teams. High performers often compensate for gaps in leadership capability and employees with strong technical knowledge tend to carry a heavier burden, leading to work/life balance challenges. There appears to be limited accountability in some areas and tenure can outweigh performance in retention decisions impacting team morale.
