Pros

100% employer paid health, dental, vision and HRA card

Cons

-Toxic and inhumane workload and expectations - if you want to jeopardize your mental and physical health this is the place for you! Many employees from different teams openly shared how burned out they were by the amount of work they had. Management doesn't care and just expects you to adjust your life according to their last minute decisions even if it means disrupting your life completely. Some of management used to joke about "breaking" people with the workload. -25% staff layoff November 2020 -Horrible management. My boss had no idea what they were doing and never should have been in a management role. My team was an absolute dysfunctional mess and it wasn't the only one. -CEO is all talk and no action when it comes to creating a good company culture. -No actual remote/flexible work policy because the CEO prefers everyone in the office. Adjustments were made for the pandemic but in non-pandemic times it was frowned upon if you worked from home. -New product has a long way to go to before it can be widely sold and there are already a lot of companies who have come to market with something similar.

Pros

Nice facility and some decent people.

Cons

Avoid this place if you value stability. Management treats employees as disposable, often laying people off and "rebranding" the roles weeks later to bring in new faces. It’s a transparent and gross tactic. On top of that, there is a clear "favorites" system where toxic employees are allowed to thrive without consequences.
