Pros

Enthusiastic team members, team collaboration, flexible business hours. Have adapted very well to the Covid pandemic and have provided assistance with dealing with the changing demands globally. Dax is an inspiring leader who values and strongly promotes diversity.

Cons

Management is an "untouchable team", you cannot speak to management freely and are only encouraged to share feedback with HR, not current management. Micro managing across middle management, they are not experienced and struggle at providing guidance or help with career growth. Conversations about salary and bonus increase are not encouraged, and when they do occur, they present you with changes or increases and are non-negotiable.

Pros

-Unlimited PTO - Use this, the company allows it. This is the main reason I stayed at this company for so long. If they did not offer it, I would have been gone within minutes.

Cons

-Low pay- the company makes up for not paying you by offering unlimited PTO - They keep switching from Atena to Cigna, Kind of annoying when you already have an established PCP - Constant layoffs, its a running joke in this company that when you become a Team Lead you are about to get laid off. - Pay increase- Also it looks like when you start making too much money, prepare to get laid off. Accepting pay increases comes with less job security - This job you need a lot of adaptability- you never know if you might come in and you have an increased amount of duties because they laid someone off - this increase of duties does NOT come with an increased salary/hourly wage either. You are just expected to take on other peoples job duties for nothing in return. -Literally everyone is figuring out things on the spot, there are no tools provided to you to guide you through things. You just gotta figure it out as you go. - The company asks for more than they give. - The company has way too many meetings. You will end up sitting in meeting listening to other departments speak about things that have NOTHING to do with you. Time is not spent well here, time is wasted. - The CEO is very boastful and braggy, like telling us things about his personal life that doesnt pertain to anything related to work in any way, shape or form disguised as " fun facts" when its just a chance to brag.
