Pros

- 4 day work week (on paper, but you're still expected to work weekends) - sabbatical every 3 years (if you're lucky enough to get it approved) - free lunch 1x/week - smart and motivated peers - aesthetic office

Cons

- Burnout culture, expected to work weekends even when you're OOO - Massive favoritism as many other reviewers had said - CEO is arrogant and does not take feedback well - Company does not care about the employees or the customers and only wants to get the most profit - Fires ICs and impactful leaders and fails to evaluate the exec suite or consider cutting costs/salaries there - Constant changes in business and strategy - A company that sells to women but does not care about women and would let them go while they're on mat leave and right before

Pros

This company taught me what a toxic workplace looks like.

Cons

I ignored the negative reviews before joining. Don't make the same mistake I did. The culture was built around micromanagement, gaslighting, and triaged blaming. These took a toll on my health. If you're looking for a healthy work environment, run.
