Pros

Trendy name to have on CV, good place to learn on how NOT to treat team members and colleagues

Cons

Extremely toxic and political, all company wide meetings focus on how great they treat their employees and how awesome they are, but when questions are brought up on the low pay, basic benefits and lack of work life balance, suddenly there isn't enough time to answer such topics. Nothing can be done without approvals from different layers of the company, completely demoralising all employees in showing any initiative, the working hours expected is 50+ a week, it is expected of you to check work on weekends and evenings, promotions and rewards are based on who gets on the best with the manager, Extremely unfair work environment

Pros

Salary and internal team culture. Never faced any harassment or discrimination, unlike several previous companies.

Cons

Cross functional and management culture has taken a nose dive since the JV sale. Leadership tanked everyone's performance ratings in the last cycle to save money and reduce headcount without paying severance. There is no training or support for new leaders, who bear the brunt of pressure implementing new strategies and trying to protect staff from burnout. The company's insistence on full return to office is another tactic to force people out.
