Pros

Working here through the pandemic was an amazing insight into what people can accomplish when working toward a common goal. I made lifelong friends here and had the great fortune of working with and managing wonderful, talented individuals and teams.

Cons

Amazing things were often accomplished despite corporate obstacles, which were many: a chronically disengaged HR staff, deliberately opaque and siloed company structure, unclear long-term goals, and executive infighting trickling down to hasty, reactionary decision-making were the norm, not the exception - though the exceptions were golden. As expected in a high-growth startup, the exceptional people carried the weight and often burnt out. Rounds of layoffs were handled poorly, as other reviewers have mentioned, and rapid, seemingly gut-instinct priority and budget shifts typically translated into bloat and waste while straining relationships with both internal staff and external vendors and contacts.

Pros

-Some people in the company will have your back and give you a chance to show your skills -Some of the people here are very helpful(someone a lower level than me who probably should have been my level helped me so much)

Cons

-They promote negative competitions -You get a gift card like once a year and they tax it on your next check -Once we noticed salaried employees should get unlimited PTO across the company's policy; we all banded together- the loophole was to make us all hourly instead of giving us what the company offered for salary employees which they made us salary in 2 weeks after we fought the policy -The company makes many promises to everyone but can't keep it -CNs are what keeps this company afloat yet treated like slums -They hire and promote their friends in a short time while others fight for growth(not related to me but I have seen and heard some of the worse things from people who want to move up in this company. I wouldn't even dare try because they are becoming TOXIC) -They often use a group of their best employees for different things but never reward or promote them
