Pros

Nice people, some snacks, great office space. A lot of great creative minds collaborate here, though they are mostly ignored.

Cons

Dinesh Lathi has run this company into the ground. Gone are the transparent days of Doug Mack - today's office culture is that of fear and silence. For all the company talks about transparency, employees are told nothing concerning the state of the company and basically are each doing the jobs of three people to try and stay afloat. Everyone is exhausted and overworked but no one seems to care. Costs are being cut while the C suite wines and dines. Layoffs feel imminent, and it is now a toxic environment. I used to love my job. Now I dread going in.

Pros

Some very creatively talented individuals; inspiring brand DNA

Cons

HR posts fake positive reviews on Glassdoor. senior leadership team removed unlimited PTO and forced everyone to be hourly, installing a tracker software where you are watched and talked to if you work less than 45 hours a week. Senior leadership team is super chaotic and believes in fear based tactics to drive performance. Company is projected to go out of business any day.
