Pros

Great culture and many talented people; Excellent ongoing training; Work hard but also play hard and try to help employees keep a balance; Good products and invest a lot into continued development; Leadership is approachable and transparent; Many opportunities to move into new positions and grow with the company.

Cons

Difficult to keep up with growth (a good problem but a problem nonetheless) and no real plan to manage growth; operational inefficiencies and silos take away from ability to provide outstanding service to clients; Company culture and few perks such as some free lunches and picnics do not make up for compensation being on the low end. The company and HR will have you believe it's such an amazing place to work that there's nothing like it out there - this is not the case, but many employees are stuck in this belief and don't command what they're worth, which stagnates the organization.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
