Pros

Offers flexibility in remote work.

Cons

I work in a technical field at this company and unfortunately, I've encountered sexist behavior on a regular basis. All senior membership are men and they consistently disregard complaints of sexism. They don't intervene in toxic dynamics, leaving lower ranking women to clean up their messes. It's disheartening to see that the CTO, who is a member of our DEI charter, oversees the department where this seems to be most prevalent. While I care deeply about my colleagues and have a love for this company, I'm deeply disappointed by the prevalence of sexist behavior in the workplace. Despite complaints and concerns raised by myself and my female coworkers, senior management consistently disregards the issue and fails to intervene in toxic dynamics. Women are not recognized or given the same opportunities as our male counterparts. It's frustrating to see the company complain about not getting enough female candidates for positions while actively neglecting to advance the women already here in a meaningful way. Unfortunately, I don't have much hope that anything will change. I feel compelled to warn others about this company's lack of action and let my colleagues know that they're not alone. Unfortunately, I don't have much hope that anything will change, but I hope that future employees can make a more informed decision about joining this company.
