      Pros

      Compensation and benefits are somewhat decent

      Cons

      Extremely toxic work culture with favoritism and office politics Incompetent leadership that does not listen to employees Zero career growth unless you're part of the inner circle Work-life balance is a joke—constant pressure, unrealistic deadlines, and no real support Feedback is not welcome; questioning decisions can put you on the chopping block Innovation is stifled by excessive bureaucracy and indecisive management

      Pros

      Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

      Cons

      Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
