Pros

Talented and fun colleagues Great catered food/snacks/drinks

Cons

- Internal politics drive this entire place, HR can't be trusted because they are a part it. It would be more beneficial to be transparent and state that no real changes will occur with schedules, compensation, or professional growth, than to keep leading employees month after month (giving a personal day per quarter is not a change, when almost a month of extra hours was added). Everyone is waiting for July to make a move. - Work/life balance is nonexistent, disallowing for any normal social/personal life. - Morale is very low with constant negative feedback on a daily basis. - Employees are expected to prep and work outside of scheduled hours. - People take bathroom breaks just to text or call someone or look up from your computer. You are expected to eat behind your desk while working. A 10-15 break policy was instituted yet there's guilt involved when taking one. - New level of hires are interns and new grads for a reason. - Mentally and physically unhealthy environment during work. If you value health/sleep, consider other places to work.

Pros

Interesting product we have access to use.

Cons

The biggest challenge has been the lack of consistency in strategy and leadership turnover, which makes it difficult for teams to build momentum and execute. Constant shifts in priorities create confusion and are frustrating. No transparency. The company is struggling to keep pace with competitors in terms of product innovation. Many teams feel they are spending too much time reacting to changes rather than building forward momentum. Too many time wasting meetings where everyone is camera off.
