Pros

Most of the late nights/all-nights can be handled from home. Vacation days are generous.

Cons

High turnover is a problem. This company cannot keep good people because they treat them so poorly, like promoting people with "dry" promotions (you take on the responsibility, but you don't get the title or the pay). They only promote once a year, so anyone who takes on a new, bigger job, has to perform the job for a year before there is any chance of promotion. Then, many times, the promotion still doesn't come. I hate to admit this, but I see this especially with women,who are rarely promoted - and frankly, rarely hired. Also, there is no respect for family, or personal time. The company comes first. The company always has a reason to give slim bonus/compensation packages, even in the best years. Almost everyone in the office is looking for a job.

It's genuinely good to hear that transparency, culture and the people around you create a positive and supportive work environment
