Pros
- Immediate team had great culture - Some people in senior roles were really great (some) - Made really great connections and friendships here, especially the last 3 or 4 people I reported to. - Office is pretty - Used to have chef / masseuse - Office is dog friendly and was nice see dogs in the office most days. - Hybrid schedule was nice, although not flexible if you for any reason need to WFH more than the set days on occasion. - Unlimited PTO (except it wasn't REALLY unlimited, as the days still needed to be approved obviously and were often denied).
Cons
- Pay increase was not delivered as discussed. However, newer and less experienced team members were brought on making close to $10k more the rest of the team. - Favoritism determined career advancements. - Most of the company worked *unpaid* overtime / late hours most days of the week and were never shown gratitude, but then were reprimanded for coming into work 5-10 minutes late. - Making mistakes is a huge "no-no" here despite what they may tell you. The amount of times we were disrespectfully berated for even the smallest mistakes is ridiculous. - As you may have collected from the last few bullet points, the culture and environment was very toxic (senior management often managed with fear tactics rather than creating a safe space to learn and grow). I've talked about my experiences here with family and friends, and they could not believe most of the stories I've shared.
