Pros

Lots of opportunities. Company has a lot of growth potential if everything is managed correctly. Has a very distinct culture. If you like an immersive culture, then try out DS.

Cons

Company is too centered around the one major stock holder - the founder. All of the executive staff beneath him work and complain about how they have to figure out how to make him happy. To me, this is not a good situation. While the culture is great, it can at times almost seem oppressive. If you wish to go to work, do a good job, and not participate, it may be viewed negatively. For the size of the company, way too much money is being spent on AI without any real and clear direction.

Pros

- Good benefits for the size of company - Hybrid work environment for most positions, dog-friendly campus - High quality employees that pull their weight - Lots of opportunity to learn new skills or participate in different committees if that's your thing

Cons

- The pay is honestly abysmal for the workloads you're expected to carry - They preach work/life balance but also expect you to do everything immediately - They preach diversity and inclusion but if you don't fit into the very "corporate" culture, that is held against you in myriad ways - Not at ALL friendly for those in the neurodivergent community unless you're in engineering or IT. - Senior leadership is just clueless about the actual culture and morale of the employees
