Pros

Benefits are pretty decent, WFH for some positions, stock options

Cons

leadership is toxic, they hire their friends and layoff key people, due to this there is no career growth, the company is unethical and hides its poor unfair hiring practices. They do layoff nearly every quarter - and it is how they manage the books.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
