Pros

50% of personal car rentals.

Cons

Where do I start? There is zero work life balance. Zero. They will take you to task for not responding to something at 10pm on a Saturday, or expect you to complete a mountainous (but not an emergency) project in a very short window of time with an arbitrary deadline, regardless of what hours you need to work to complete it. Have to stay up until 4am? They don't care, they just want it done. The benefits package is poor. "Unlimited PTO" is offered but in the employee handbook they "recommend 15 days" and make no mistake, they are acutely aware if you take more than 15 days. They offer only 8 weeks maternity leave which is abysmal in itself; but I also never saw a single pregnant person work there during my tenure. They cut significant corners and make knee jerk decisions with no thoughts of the long term implications and are absolutely shocked when those consequences rear their ugly heads. Then they'll look for a scapegoat to blame; anyone but the decision makers themselves. They'll fire people for "poor performance" but pay severance because if they call it a lay off - which is what it actually is - they'll have to tell their investors. What is poor performance? Who knows because they have no performance metrics. Stay far away from this place if you value your sanity.
