Pros

Their health benefits and others were nice. Nothing crazy either, but nice.

Cons

1. They don't really have an onboarding process after their HR onboarding process, which sets new hires up for failure. 2. The level of micromanagement is extreme. I have never experienced anything like it before. 3. Some managers are bullies, displaying extreme levels of passive-aggressiveness. (imagine a snarky comment followed by a smiley face after asking a legitimate question) 4. Asking questions or simply being new was seen as a handicap, despite being "empowered" to ask questions. The result of asking questions was as mentioned above. 5. I was expected to fulfill 10 roles in 1 and be underpaid. They lied about payment and my role right from the beginning. Oh, yeah. 6. Other employees share the same feelings about certain people, but nobody speaks up due to fear of reprimand or being ignored.

Pros

- There are still some remnants of an ambitious, creative, and genuinely kind people. - The benefits package almost makes the mediocre pay worth it. - This company has a lot of experience with remote work, and generally utilizes it well.

Cons

- The decision-making power in the company has been mostly hijacked by an investment-maximizing playbook, replacing genuine passion for improvement with platitudes and performative checklists. - Performance is measured inconsistently at best. Gossip and promotional noise are measured with more weight than actual business outcomes. - Excellence is rewarded with more work and expectations, not with raises or promotions. The most experienced and productive talent at this company is slowly being replaced with newcomers that are unaware of the falling work:compensation ratio.
