Pros

Company is growing and always looking for ways to improve. I feel that leadership encourages suggestions and feedback and values our voices. A very great company to start or end your career with. Lots of talented people here. Work like balance is fantastic.

Cons

Some teams are limited in their capacity due to mid-level management who are a bit stubborn and set in their ways. HR team is not robust and feels a bit piecemeal.
