I don't recommend it

Pros

A generous maternity leave policy of 6 months - but beware - you won't have a job to come back to. We've seen it many times.

Cons

I've been here long enough to see leadership lie straight to our faces numerous times. Getting screwed over isn't a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN.

Job is nothing like they say, it’s all just a bunch of fluff

Pros

An AI-first mentality. We are expected to use AI on everything and specify in our emails when we don’t use it.

Cons

Monthly layoffs, 5-day in office work week, clueless management, harmful people in leadership roles, heavy burnout
