Pros

Some superficial perks, such as free drinks on Fridays. Ambitious brand image and marketing presence.

Cons

Company culture is often toxic and lacks genuine support. Leadership can appear disconnected from employees’ day-to-day challenges. No proper HR department; they have a “People & Talent” team that functions more as a façade rather than a true HR function. For a company of this size, this is inadequate. Perks and benefits feel like a cover for deeper organizational issues.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
