Pros

The company is full of passionate, hardworking people, offers good work–life balance in many departments, provides fair market compensation, and delivers an excellent product.

Cons

Avoid the Business Technology department. There are serious concerns about sexism and racism, limited advancement opportunities unless you fit a narrow demographic, and high turnover—five women left within a single year. PTO approvals have been rescinded months later, and the leadership team requires significant change.

Pros

I loved my co-workers. Everyone was super helpful and a lot of people were friendly. I enjoyed hanging out with them during lunch hour. People thought very highly of the management. I had a boss that really cared about me personally and was fair but kind. The company also valued personal development and gave time to learn new skills and build side projects for the company.

Cons

I did not find it meaningful to work on software that was helping big corporations.
