Pros

Nice office location? That's it!

Cons

This must have been my worst work experience in my 10 year career, absolutely traumatizing - the HR and management has no respect for staff and treats them like disposable garbage. Terrible work culture, very old-fashioned approach resulting in poor team morale and massive staff turnover. The management is extremely disorganised and has no idea how to run a business. Everyone there is so unhappy and undervalued! The pay is just disappointing and there's no realistic progression path. Avoid this place at all cost!

Pros

Nice headquarters, good people, fun atmosphere.

Cons

Questionable C-Suite directives/policies. A lot of bureaucracy, and it's difficult to move new ideas forward.

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
