Pros

- Coffee and creamer and filtered water for free. - Can dress like a slob, wear basically nothing, or suit up. Your choice.

Cons

- Pay at the very bottom of industry average. The company was super tight in giving equity. Is actually keen in handing small bonuses in effort to block raise requests. - HR tried to discredit Glassdoor in their "interview training." Company is unwilling to reflect and instead pushes the blame through finger pointing and layoffs. (Wait, you haven't heard of people getting laid off?) - Partially subsidized a transit pass by raising benefit premiums and cutting PTO payouts. - Lack of strategic vision among Sr. leadership; lack of leadership experience across the board. Throws cheese like "let's do it in 'zulily time' " to explain often knee-jerk reactions. Company doesn't realize that agility isn't about throwing darts and hoping they stick. - Leadership is much more reactive than proactive. For example, look how long it took for the company to admit their business model wasn't cutting it (five years?).
