Pros

Health benefits, free lunches, gym, unlimited PTO, some really smart, great people

Cons

The list is endless...First, the lack of leadership. Upper management was never there as they were trying to find a way to exit. Middle management was horrendous and incompetent. They didn't know how to manage nor display any real leadership capabilities. They had no direction and little to no idea of what they were doing. Communication was nonexistent throughout the company and there was three different cultures. Each group was insulated, distinct and operated independently. There was not much team cohesion. So, depending on which group you were part of, you could have a very different experience. Slice emphasizes its great culture. Well, now that it's been acquired and most of the people that made that culture "great" left, there isn't much culture. What's left is the leftovers and the stains that couldn't be washed away (and I am only speaking about the managers/leadership). Bottom line - don't work here!
