Pros

- good benefits and compensation - great CEO - remote friendly company

Cons

- the company claims that it takes employee development seriously and that they want to see their people grow and succeed but that is a complete lie. my managers ultimately did not care about that, and every day feels like you're in a sink or swim workplace. you will be penalized for making mistakes big and small, and in my case, heavily micromanaged and ridiculed for not meeting unrealistic deadlines or expectations. by the end, it was obvious that my manager's antics were to convince me to quit. not once did I feel that any of my superiors cared about employee growth, they were only out for themselves and what would make them look good. I ultimately left because I felt there was no sense of community whatsoever, and management doesn't care about their people. maybe other departments are different, but this was my experience.
