Pros

Fun product that makes you smile. Nothing evil about personalized gifts.

Cons

Hard to get in full-time from contract. They appoint people internally to positions they know nothing about. It's a way to give them a promotion, but it often upsets the balance. Contractors that are highly qualified stay contractors. Maybe 1:10 make it to become FTE. Also, it's a boys club. There are very few women at the top. The ones that are there are rare or friends of the top guys. Men get promoted over smarter women a lot.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
