Pros

Work with extremely intelligent team members who are the best of the best. That's it.

Cons

- Old school mentality. Zero progression or forward thinking. - Prides itself on being "inclusive and diverse" when its very, very far from that. Highly concerning that every leader here is a white male. - Employee voices mean NOTHING. We speak on issues and offer solutions but management is unwilling to make any improvements. - No hybrid or flex schedule - Growth + pay raise is near to impossible. - TERRIBLE LEADERSHIP. Not only with CEO + Board, but also department leadership. Overall a disaster, completely out of touch and offer no support. - Work life balance... what's that? - Processes... what's that? - Favoritism is a real thing here. They pick and choose when they want to follow a process or not. - Ambiguity is also, a real thing here. - Actually ask employees to write positive reviews on glassdoor to increase their score. -Don't drink the Kool-Aid. We all do in the beginning but quickly figure out the Kool-Aid is garbage.
