Pros

Stock benefits, Average time off.

Cons

Executive leadership tone has shifted in a weird direction. (Founders Syndrome) RTO A lot of egomaniacs at all levels. 2 CIO's in one year. The pool must be shallow. When a CIO says "because other companies are doing it..." (context doesn't even matter) does not give me a lot of confidence in leadership. All company meetings have turned into buzz word bingo time. The mission only gets you so far when the company is turning into just another crappy company to work for. Bad decisions and planning at the executive level are met with 'because I said so' attitudes. Management is blind-sided by this poor decision making and have to answer to confused employees. Hiring from the outside for execute level people is a mistake. Clearly, background checks and possibly interviews are a thing of the past when hiring VP's and executives.

Pros

Great coworkers Great benefits and pay

Cons

Layoffs every 3 months. The CEO is handling the consistent layoffs horribly. Says things like we will lay off people in “two weeks” during an all team meeting which caused panic across the entire company. Our last all-team he said no more layoffs in the foreseeable future. Next even one quarter later and layoffs again. People are working in fear. The layoffs are political as well. If you’re a great leader watch out you will be laid off and your team will be switched to a leader that has gotten far by micromanaging. It’s creating a terrible culture we’re people fear being the next to get laid off.

Pros

Pay well, kind employees, on-site amenities, kitchen, and food service, hybrid work environment

Cons

A small company that grew fast and is experiencing growing pains. They seem to be confused regarding the general direction of the organizational/ operational structure. They have gone through several reorganizations. They tend to overhire or create roles with no foresight for those roles or how roles will be managed, and then have mass layoffs. Gaining them a reputation for layoffs.
