Pros

Coworkers are fantastic. Smart and down to earth people on most teams.

Cons

I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for a supportive and transparent work environment. First and foremost, there is a severe lack of transparency in how decisions are made. Management rarely communicates openly with employees, leading to a culture of confusion and mistrust. Important decisions are often made behind closed doors without any input or explanation to the staff. Specifics include scaling back of health benefits requiring more money out of your paycheck, promised severance to employees was suddenly revoked, cell phone stipends cut, building bonuses into salaries and calling it a “raise” (so don’t expect a raise in the future), buying back employee stock. The benefits package is subpar, to say the least. The health insurance options are limited and expensive, and the company does not offer any meaningful perks or wellness programs. Parental leave is another area where the company falls short. The policy is minimal and does not support new parents in any meaningful way, even after fighting for a better policy. It was pulling teeth to get 8 weeks for women and 4 weeks for men. And the founders would obviously prefer there was no leave at all. They are not supportive of families or mothers. Another major issue is the behavior of management. Many of them are downright rude and dismissive of employee concerns. Feedback is not welcomed, and when it is provided, it is often met with hostility. There are constant promises of change and improvement, but they are nothing more than empty words. Employees are led to believe that things will get better, but those promises are never fulfilled. Additionally, the lack of career development and advancement opportunities makes it clear that this is not a place where you can build a long-term career. Overall, the work environment is toxic, and the company fails to deliver on its promises to employees. The company will promise the moon and talk about how they are different and they want employees to stay long term, but never deliver and even cut back on promises. I would strongly advise potential employees to look elsewhere.
