Pros

I appreciate their discretionary/unlimited PTO policy and some (not all) of their systems are rather up-to-date with current technology. Their home office stipend is also automatically included in your standard paychecks, so no need to submit for reimbursement every month.

Cons

I feel as if I was deceived during their interview process. They spoke of such a wonderful culture that they've built over the past couple of years (touting a Total Self approach), but that's far from my experience. To date, I've encountered insufficient work by my predecessors with an 'it is what it is' attitude by management. When questioned, management cannot confidently say what is defined as per our internal processes, but rather rely upon what they or others have done previously. The company as a whole is somehow continuously under resourced for individual contributors, while continuing to grow upper management so the organization is very top heavy, and thus it actually feels unstable at all times. Attrition is also tremendous, even as compared to numbers from the current COVID revolution.

Pros

Incredible management, very communicative, most supportive and kind people i have ever worked with. They want to see you succeed on your contracts and are your safe space for questions and learning. I have never been more pleased with a company. Unlimited PTO

Cons

Most of their recognition is paid out in internal points instead of actual money
