Pros

Growth opportunities Pleasant and competent coworkers Overall benefits are at least average for industry, better than average if you count RSUs

Cons

Heavy work load. Most employees average well over 40 hours/week. I think this causes a lot of turnover, so we’re constantly being told “once this position is filled/once so and so is trained up everything will calm down.” But in reality it’s a never ending cycle. I think given the amount of overtime we average, pay should be higher and we should get an extra week of PTO. We need time to unwind. Also, in our field it’s completely possible to WFH full time, and we have proven ourselves successful doing it. Most of us do not want to have to add 4 hours commute/week to our already overloaded schedule to work in the office. It’s fine when there are things we are working on together, but we mostly do our own things.

Pros

Overall, it’s not the worst place to work, but there are several shortcomings the company needs to address. The biggest positive is the people — about 95% of the team was great to work with and genuinely trying to do their best for the company and for themselves. The 401(k) match is strong, though it does require several years of employment before fully vesting. The overall benefits package is average — not exceptional, but generally decent.

Cons

Below‑market compensation and less‑than‑desirable annual raises and bonuses. Increases at the time of promotions were often limited due to a lack of employee leverage. Long‑term employees were not brought up to market rates, while new hires frequently came in earning more than those with tenure and proven performance. Subpar HR team — they are focused solely on protecting the company rather than supporting employees. Unfair practices regarding hybrid and remote schedules. Many employees are allowed to work remotely while the company preaches to the rest that remote work is not an option. Even individuals on the same team or within the same department are given different arrangements. Senior staff are often granted privileges that their direct reports are denied. They heavily preach cost‑cutting, yet allow certain teams to be wasteful and fund perks or community engagement events that fall short of their goals and misuse resources.
