Pros

Most people here are pretty easy going. On the outside it looks appealing because of their amenities like massage service, drinks, snacks, games… …but it’s a all a charade.

Cons

Not a real Tech Firm Not a real Finance Firm Not a quality firm that outside people think it might be. Internally it is deteriorating and rotting away like late stage cancer. How can a company be successful if all their managers are incompetent and under qualified? Operations Department is full of underutilized talent which Upper management couldn't care less because it's about who you know not what you know. Too much office politics, too many unnecessary meetings, inefficient processes, extremely slow tendencies to make changes, No reward system, slave drivers, under compensation, under appreciated, etc... A word of Caution = Don't get suckered into this place if you’re thinking about joining the Operations Department - which is just a glorified sweat shop.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
