Pros

Joined as an intern and stayed on as a full-time employee — which already says a lot about how the company evaluates and trusts early talent. During my internship, I wasn’t limited to observation; I was expected to contribute, make mistakes, and learn quickly. One thing that stands out is the level of ownership given early on. If you’re proactive, there’s enough room to take initiative and shape your own learning curve. The team doesn’t hesitate to involve interns in core discussions, which helps build confidence and practical understanding. The conversion process also felt merit-based rather than procedural, which made the transition more meaningful.

Cons

The pace can feel intense, especially during the initial months after conversion. There’s an expectation to ramp up quickly, and sometimes guidance isn’t always structured — you have to actively seek clarity.

Pros

None currently. Used to be the best place to work.

Cons

The company has changed dramatically over the last few years. Morale is at an all-time low, and most people are disengaged and unhappy but willing to stick it out because they pay well. The culture that once made this organization special has been eroded and replaced by an environment driven by fear and uncertainty. Leadership decisions have contributed significantly to this decline. Since the arrival of a new executive leader (another CEO??), Kathy, there has been a noticeable shift toward centralized control, diminished trust, and the appointment of loyalists into key leadership positions despite concerns about whether they possess the necessary experience or qualifications (spoiler: they don’t). Many long-tenured, high-performing employees have left or been pushed out as a result. Sort the reviews by most recent. You will quickly notice a recent influx of positivity from the India team. It’s no coincidence that the (original) CEO just visited. Clearly the priority is to improve ratings rather than address the underlying issues driving the demise of what once was an incredible culture.
